Lavender Fields

I am travelling appallingly alone
On a singular road
Into the lavender fields
That reach high beyond the sky

People ask me how I've changed
I say it is a singular road
And the lavender has stained my skin
And made me strange

The lavender is tall and reaches
Beyond the heavenly cover
I plough through this furious world
Of which I'm truly over

And sometimes I hear my name
Oh where did you go?
But the lavender is broad
And it's a singular road
(Across the hills)
(We walk and walk)

Once I was running with my friends
All of them busy with their pens
But the lavender grew rare
What happened to them?
(There is a kingdom in the sky)
(There is a kingdom in the sky)

Sometimes I see a pale bird
Wheeling in the sky
But that is just a feeling
A feeling when you die
(Where did they go?)
(Where did they hide?)
(We don't ask who)
(We don't ask why)
(There is a kingdom in the sky)
(There is a kingdom in the sky)
(Where did they go?)
(Where did they hide?)
(We don't ask who)
(We don't ask why)
(There is a kingdom in the sky)
(There is a kingdom in the sky)
