C Dm F C
C Dm G C
C Dm
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
F C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
Dm
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
Am G C Fmaj7
Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
Am G C
As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
C Dm
I had no idea on what ground I was founded
F C
All of that goodness is going with you now
C Dm
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
C Dm
All of my goodness is gone with you now
Am G C F
Dragging alone, follow in your form
Am G C Am
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Am G C Fmaj7
Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
Am G C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
C Dm F C
C Dm G C
C Dm
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 highest by your warmth,
C F
Thus transformed
Am G C Am
But your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
Am G C Fmaj7
Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
Am G C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
