Andrew Bird - Souverian Lyrics
Though bells will ring
Church steeples were catchin fire
If you promise spring
Then I'll know you are a liar
Tender grasses won't burn easily
Tough 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 anymore
So here it 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 it comes the chorus
You'll never fear anymore
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

Andrew Bird Souverian Comments
I would like to see Andrew bird live.... maybe one day I will be so lucky!
Me too, but sadly I'm in Florida where few great musicians that interest me come to perform. I can hope though!
I saw Bird live in Kalamazoo, MI when he was touring with these and other songs, around 2010, and this man is, in my opinion, onto music that is so stunning and soulful. I love him.
Dear reader,
If you're listening to this but haven't heard the Cemetery Gates live version of this you're making a mistake.
Go, now. Fast!
this song is where i go when i die.
R. D Its Beyond the Valley of the Three White Horses for me.
Tchaikovsky violin concerto anyone?
i knew it was familiar!
Oml u right!!
Discovered his music yesterday. I cannot stop listening, his songs are like little presents that unwrap themselves to reveil such beauty.
Perfect description
I'm doing the same thing now!
we will meet on a fatal shore...
this is a great song why didnt i here this sooner
holy shit this song. this song. what the hell. why did i just hear this now
i know this is great
the intro sounds like it belongs in a Wes Anderson film
This song is just amazing. I love Andrew Bird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew makes me heart happy
The last portion of this song makes me sad because I realize I'll never make anything as beautiful as that is.
precioso
My wee heart can't take it! It's too much!
Have you seen Lean Body Blaster? (Google it) It is a quick and easy way to get rid of fat fast.
i tried Lean Body Blaster and i Shit my pants 4 times in one day.
Our own little nest! <3 (no pun intended)
for sure .

noble beast is an amazing album altogether. every song can be interpreted in so many ways. i hope one day that i get to see andrew bird perform live.
Noble Beast :)
Andrew Bird is on the Kobe system.
viva la bird!
under the elders the older get younger...... still my lover wont return to me
4:12 onward...makes me want to cry it's so beautiful.
whichalbum?
@MNBTM That's because most people aren't worthy of commenting on Andrew Bird's music. I for instance am cutting off my fingers for this sacrilege.
First of all, I love the whole message of this song. And the whole sound of it. Simply beautiful. But what I really love is when it changes. For a while, you think "Oh, it's a new song!", but then you realize its still the same, and you get a certain kind of comfort from that. And then when On Ho starts, you're still wondering if it's the same
@TheConstruxNunchux It's a misspelling of the french translation for Sovereign
i like how i don't know what Souverian means.
I can picture myself dying in absolute peace with his melodies in the back of my head.
I love this song. Whenever I hear it, I close my eyes and let the music wash over me. It's so beautiful.
I like how he uses Souverian and So very young interchangeably
i like that there aren't many comments on these videos. it's cute its like an andrew bird community haha.
love this song! :)
loveeeeeee them :)
I DISAGREE!!! lol....
Love this album!...this my fav track.
best song on thatalbum.
