The bells will ring Church steeple's catching fire And if you promise spring Then I know you are a liar
'Cause in the spring Tender grasses won't burn easily The thrushes sing Still my lover won't return to me
Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs While thistles will burn my feet And if you join our chorus You'll never fear anymore
So here it comes, just the chorus We will meet on a fatal shore
Souverian Souverian The elder
Souverian Souverian The free
Souverian Souverian The felled heart
So very young So very young Were we
Birds were singing Still my lover won't return to me You promise spring Still my lover won't return to me
Wild parsnips scar my lungs And the thistles are burning my feet
So here it comes, the chorus You will never fear anymore If you join our chorus We will meet on a fatal shore
Under the elders the older get younger the younger get over over the elders and under the elders pretend that you're older now
Under the elders the older get younger the younger get older over the elders under the elders bending the branches down
We were 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 scar my lungs While thistles still burn my feet
