[00:00.00]Shrike - Hozier
[00:12.24]Lyrics by:A. Hozier-Byrne
[00:24.49]Composed by:A. Hozier-Byrne
[00:36.74]I couldn't utter my love when it counted
[00:44.93]Ah but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
[00:52.75]And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
[01:01.23]Ah but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
[01:09.39]Words hung above but never would form
[01:18.09]Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
[01:26.78]Remember me love when I'm reborn
[01:35.71]As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
[01:59.70]I'd no idea on what ground I was founded
[02:07.85]All of that goodness is going with you now
[02:15.95]Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
[02:24.16]All of my goodness is going with you now
[02:32.36]Dragging along follow in your form
[02:41.72]Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
[02:49.86]Remember me love when I'm reborn
[02:58.63]As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
[03:38.51]I fled to the city with so much discounted
[03:47.33]Ah but I'm flying like a bird to you now
[03:55.44]Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
[04:03.49]Ah but I'm flying like a bird to you now
[04:11.05]I was housed by your warmth thus transformed
[04:20.38]By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
[04:29.03]Remember me love when I'm reborn
[04:37.94]As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
