Lyrics
Though bells will ring Church steeples were catchin fire And 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 felled 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
