Dear Old Greenland Tab

by Andrew Bird


                               

On the way to Greenland I shall find

                                 

All the disparate fragments of my mind

                                

I shall return a different man

            

And darling do

            

And darling do

           

All that I can

          

All that I can

                               

On the way to Greenland I shall find


                              

No mundane distractions of any kind

                                         

If beneath the ice fields there's a room

                                                  

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

                                                    

And it's breathing from the gills of my Greenland   oh   oh
