hozier - shrike (live at windmill lane studios) lyrics

Loading...

[instrumental]

[verse 1]
i couldn’t utter my love when it counted
ah, but i’m singing like a bird about it now
i couldn’t whisper when you needed it shouted
ah, but i’m singing like a bird about it now

[chorus 1]
words hung above, but never would form
like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
remember me, love when i’m reborn
as a shrike to your sharp and glorious th-rn

[verse 2]
i’d no idea on what ground i was founded
all of that goodness is going with you now
then when met you, my virtues uncounted
all of my goodness is going with you now

[chorus 2]
dragging along, following your form
hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
remember me love, when i’m reborn
as a shrike to your sharp and glorious th-rn

[verse 3]
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

[chorus 3]
i was housed by your warmth
but i was transformed
by your grounded and giving
and darkening scorn
remember me love, when i’m reborn
as the shrike to your sharp and glorious th-rn
