Andrew Bird lyrics : "Souverian"

Though bells will ring
Church steeples were catchin fire
If you promise spring

Then I'll know you are a liar

Cause in the spring

Tender grasses won't burn easily
Though thrushes sing
Still my lover won't return to me

Wild parsnips they still scald my lungs
While thistles will burn my feet


And if you join our chorus
You will never fear any more
So here comes the chorus

We will meet on a fatal shore

Souverian Souverian the elder

Souverian Souverian was free
Souverian Souverian we feld her
So very young so very young were we


Birds will sing
Still my lover won't return to me

You promise spring
Still my lover won't return to me
Wild parsnips scald my lungs

And thistles are burning my feet

So here comes the chorus

You'll never fear any more
If you join a chorus
We will meet on a fatal shore


Under the elders
The older get younger

The younger get over
Over their elders
Under the elders

Pretend that you're older now

Under the elders

The older get younger
The younger get over
Over the elders

Under the elders
Bending your branches down


We who are so very young
Still my lover won't return to me
Thrushes sing

Still my lover won't return to me
Wild parsnips they still scald my lungs
While thistles still burn my feet
