  • 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

    Once I was running with my friends
    All of them busy with their pens
    But the lavender grew rare
    What happened to them?

    Sometimes I see a pale bird
    Wheeling in the sky
    But that is just a feeling
    A feeling when you die

    We don’t ask who
    We don’t ask why
    There is a kingdom in the sky
    There is a kingdom in the sky
    We walk and walk
    Across the hills
    We walk and walk
    Through lavender hills
    We don’t ask when
    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
