David Sylvian Pollen Path Lyrics

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 ligtening



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 too long

dividing the hours 

to measure the time





we've lived with this heartache

too 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
