Lavender Fields Songtext
von Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

I′m travelling appallingly alone on a singular road
Into the lavender fields that reach high beyond the sky

People ask me how I 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

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
