Lyrics
0:22See that gull on the old sea wall
0:27Some birds fly and others fall asleep
0:31To the beating of their wings
0:35As wind sings the wind sings
0:43See that babe at her mother's breast
0:48If I could I'd take my rest
0:53Back in the belly from where I came
0:56Nobody knows my name knows my name
1:05Half asleep in a bowl of gruel
1:10No one told me life was cruel
1:14My home is in this valley now
1:18And it's burning down it's burning down
1:24If I find the fire escape
1:29I'll break the glass and put on my cape
1:33I'll pretend I'm Superman
1:37Where are my friends where are my friends
2:02I'm a poor wayfarer and
2:07I got no one to dry my eyes
2:11Time to lay this body down
2:15In the frozen ground the frozen ground
2:24When I die lord bring me back
2:28As a snow white gull I'll make my tracks
2:32On the sandy beach of the English bay
2:37Then I'll fly away I'll fly away
See that gull on the old sea wall Some birds fly and others fall asleep To the beating of their wings As wind sings the wind sings See that babe at her mother's breast If I could I'd take my rest Back in the belly from where I came Nobody knows my name knows my name Half asleep in a bowl of gruel No one told me life was cruel My home is in this valley now And it's burning down it's burning down If I find the fire escape I'll break the glass and put on my cape I'll pretend I'm Superman Where are my friends where are my friends I'm a poor wayfarer and I got no one to dry my eyes Time to lay this body down In the frozen ground the frozen ground When I die lord bring me back As a snow white gull I'll make my tracks On the sandy beach of the English bay Then I'll fly away I'll fly away
