Gulls
DAVID GRAY · Mutineers 2014 · Track 11 of 11
Written by David Gray
This land belongs to the gulls And the gulls to their cry And their cry to the wind
And the wind belongs to no-one The wind belongs to no-one
I gave my breath to the song To the song, wasn't mine Neither of ship nor of sea Neither of glass nor of wine
Leaving this ghost of a road I'm climbing hand over hand Toward that pinprick of light
Toward the seed that God sowed Toward the seed that God sowed Toward the seed that God sowed Toward the seed that God sowed
Oh Baby Try to recognise it in my mind Try to stamp it out before it happens Yeah I try to recognise it in my mind Try to stamp it out
The writing's on, the writing's on The writing's on the wall The writing's on, the writing's on The writing's on the wall [x4]
This land belongs to the gulls And the gulls to their cry And their cry to the wind And their cry to the wind And their cry to the wind
