Dear Old Greenland - Andrew Bird

On the way to Greenland I shall find

On the way to Greenland On the way to Greenland

All the disparate fragments of my mind

Disparate fragments of my mind oh find

And I shall return a different man

And darling do darling do

And darling do darling do

All that I can all that I can

On the way to Greenland I shall find

On the way to Greenland On the way to Greenland

No mundane distractions of any kind

Of any kind oh find

If beneath the ice fields there's a room

You're know it's there I'll find my peace a lovely tomb

Friends Greenland is a place where souls go to dry out

It is a vast and terrifying place of ice fields and tundra

Bereft of fire and in the horror of its imposing irrelevance

There is a peace

The peace of pain

The peace of nothing

Well friends I'm going there

Fear is lying dying in the sands

Year and it's breathing from the gills of my Greenland
