Hozier - Shrike lyrics

I couldn't utter my love when it counted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now Bites on above But never would form Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn Remember me love, when I'm reborn As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn And I had no idea on what ground I was founded All of that goodness is going with you now Then when I met you my virtues uncounted All of my goodness is going with you now Driving alone, fall on your thorn Hung like the pearl of some prey you had worn Remember me love, when I'm reborn As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn I fled to the city with so much discounted Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now I was hatched by your warmth Thus transformed But you're grounded and giving And darkening scorn Remember me love, when I'm reborn As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
