[Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire, Andrew Bird - Dear Old Greenland lyrics]
On the way to Greenland I shall find
All the disparate fragments of my mind
I shall return a different man
And darling do 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 it's 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
All the disparate fragments of my mind
I shall return a different man
And darling do 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 it's 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
