Shrike Lyrics - Hozier

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And I had no idea on what ground I was found in 

All of that goodness is goin' with you now 

Then when I met you my virtues uncounted 

All of my goodness is goin' with you now 

Driving alone, 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 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 

And I was 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
