Pollen Path Lyrics - David Sylvian

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
