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 kick back is lightening Drowning Got to laugh This whole thing is frightening
I follow 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 harboured this sadness So long Nursing a voice To sing us our songs
