The Gulls |
Sky is overcast |
Old man of the sails |
Summoning to mass |
Terns upon the rails |
By some mystic means |
Of changing gulls to kings |
Old man had a way |
So the seagulls sang |
Our hoard has been abducted by a common draft |
Old craft of mine |
And left us on a raft |
Goodbye ye kings in the sky |
Our stand has been abandoned by the rubes we crossed |
Ships in the sky |
And left us at a loss |
Ye old craft of mine |
Our vessel has been boarded by a common craft |
Ships in the sky |
And left us on a raft |
So long ye old craft of mine |
Our channels are abandoned and the craft is lost |
Ships in the sky |
Left with an Albatross |
Cursed flock descending |
Terns upon the rails |
Charmed by instruments and charts |
Compasses and scales |
Din is overwhelming |
Screaming mob will find |
So as they have made us deaf |
The old man made them blind |
By some scheme or sorcery |
The ship had taken flight |
Capsized by the moon and strewn |
Its wreckage through the night |
See gulls all the same |
Searching for the rails |
Summoning in vain |
Old man of the sails |
Still they dive and sing |
Of becoming kings |
Old man now they say |
Lives far below the waves |
So long, ye old craft of mine |
Good bye, ye ships in the sky |
