Shrike |
| I couldn’t utter my love when it counted |
| Ah, but I’m singing like a bird 'bout it now |
| And I couldn’t whisper when you needed it shouted |
| Ah, but I’m singing like a bird 'bout it now |
| 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 thorn |
| I’d 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 |
| Dragging along, follow in your form |
| Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn |
| Remember me, love, when I’m reborn |
| As the 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 housed by your warmth, thus transformed |
| By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn |
| Remember me, love, when I’m reborn |
| As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn |
