    Summary

    I couldn't utter my love when it counted
    Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
    I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
    Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now

    Colin failed to act when it counted most and now, it's too late. At least for this life. It's Christmas Eve, and Colin prepares to spend another night worshipping his love, even though she is not there to receive it. The shrike comes and cries, and asks him, do we really only ever get one chance at life? At the things that matter?

    Colin is about to find out.
