about

Pomona is the old Norse name for Mainland Orkney.

lyrics

In the spring I'm going to Pomona,
me and my guitar will see you there,
In my mind I'd travel there to see her,
in my mind I see her everywhere.

We will wake the storm,
we will lie, we will lie us down,
For now, I'm going home,
I am Pomona's, Pomona's hardy son.

Summer time will see me back in Sanday
watching terns above me swoop and glide,
I wonder if Start Point will recognise me
I'm thinking that she never left my side.

Autumn leaves lie thick and still in Birsay
all her charms will come to say hello,
my mother's love lies waiting still there for me
my brother's voices they will let me know.

Wild the weather waits for you on Stronsay
warm the welcome waits there in the rain,
hardy souls will take you to their bosoms
and say it's nice to see you once again.
