I couldn' t utter my love when it counted
F C
Ah, but I' m singing like a bird, ' bout it now
Dm
And I couldn' t whisper when you needed it shouted
F C
Ah, but I' m singing like a bird, ' bout it now
Am G
Words hung above
C F
But never would form
Am G C Am
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

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

Dragging along, follow in your form
Am G C Am
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn

As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

I fled to the city with so much discounted
F C
Ah, but I' m flying like a bird to you now
C Dm
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
F C
Ah, but I' m flying like a bird to you now
Am G
I was housed by your warmth
C F
Thus transformed
Am G C Am
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
Am G C F7+
Remember me love, when I' m reborn
Am G C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
