Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am travelling appallingly alone

On a singular road

Into the lavender fields

That reach high beyond the sky

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

The lavender is tall and reaches

Beyond the heavenly cover

I plough through this furious world

Of which I'm truly over

[Verse 4]

And sometimes I hear my name

Oh where did you go?

But the lavender is broad

And it's a singular road

[Verse 5]

Once I was running with my friends

All of them busy with their pens

But the lavender grew rare

What happened to them?

[Verse 6]

Sometimes I see a pale bird

Wheeling in the sky

But that is just a feeling

A feeling when you die

[Verse 7]

Where did they go?

Where did they hide?

[Verse 8]

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
