Karine Polwart writes some heady stuff. Take a walk down Resolution Road.


Resolution Road
Karine Polwart

Resolution road
 Who’s your friend and who’s your foe
 How do you tell the one from the other
 Who’s on the inside, who’s undercover
 Who looks like you do

 Resolution road
 Round and round and round we go
 Who makes the circle and who’s in the middle
 Who talks in reasons and who talks in riddles
 Who looks like you do 

 Don’t speak without thinking
 Don’t sleep with a stranger when you’re drinking
 And don’t jump in a ship when it’s sinking 

Resolution road
 Learn to speak your heart in code
 Try to embody the laws of encryption
 And try to defy all the laws of description
 Who looks like you do 

Resolution road
 Buy a ticket for the show
 Who talks in riddles who talks in reasons 
 What kind of endings do you believe in
 Who looks like you do 

Don’t speak without thinking
 Don’t sleep with a stranger when you’re drinking
 And don’t jump in a ship when it’s sinking 

Don’t speak without thinking
 Don’t sleep with a stranger when you’re drinking
 And don’t jump in a ship when it’s sinking 

Resolution road
 Who’s your friend and who’s your foe
 How do you tell the one from the other
 Who’s on the inside, who’s undercover
 Who’ll be your Lazarus Who’ll be your lover
 Who looks like you do 
 Who looks like you do
 Who looks like you do
