Lavender Fields

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

2021

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
