Lyrics David Sylvian

David Sylvian

Pollen Path

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
