David Sylvian Pollen Path lyrics

Welcome me father on the North shores of Lapland
Welcome me father who knows no name
Welcome me mother the earth here is yawning
My body is shaking for want of a flame

Down here, got to laugh
The kickback is lightening
Drowning, got to laugh
This whole mess is frightening

A follower of the pollen path
The pollen path

Welcome me father the lava is rising

Welcome me mother and give me your name

We've drunk from this wellspring too long, too long
Dividing the hours to measure the time
We've lived with this heartache too long, too long
Numbering what's yours, what's mine

We've harbored this sadness so long
Nursing a voice, just sing us our songs
Raising a voice to sing our songs
