Lyrics for Belated Forgiveness Plea

As a pilgrim I did go To a land that I did know To the shores of Trist la Cal To see if I still felt The same And the sun blazed madly insane But the seagulls, they have gone The seagulls, they have gone I searched the sand for sound My eyes forced to the ground The wind, it laughed wild and shrill My heart, it tried to spill Its crazy tears There's nothing left for me now For the seagulls, they have gone The seagulls, they have gone I stand both young and old But the winds of time blow cold This much you must believe It pains to see you grieve I pity you But there's nothing that I can do For the seagulls, they have gone The seagulls, they have gone As a pilgrim I did go To a land that I did know To the shores of Trist la Cal To see if I still felt The same And the sun blazed madly insane But the seagulls, they have gone The seagulls, they have gone
