Dear Old Greenland
Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire

On the way to Greenland I shall find

All the disparate fragments of my mind

And I, I shall return a different man

And darling, do, oh darling, do all that I can


On the way to Greenland I shall find

No mundane distractions of any kind

And if, if beneath the ice fields there's a room

You 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 sort peace


Peace and pain, the peace of nothing

Well friends, I'm telling you I'm going there


Fear is lying dying in the sands

Yes, and it's breathing from the gills of my Greenland
