Belated Forgiveness Plea - Donovan

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 is 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 is 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
