Shrike Lyrics by Hozier Hozier
Below, you will find the lyrics for Shrike by Hozier.
Verse 1
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
But i'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
And i couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
But i'm singing like a bird 'bout 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 thorn
Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
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
Verse 3
I fled to the city with so much discounted
But i'm flying like a bird to you now
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
But i'm flying like a bird to you now
Chorus 3
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
