|
He was lost and I don¡¯t think
|
he wanted it that way
|
like a gull blown inland
|
on a stormy day
|
|
Lost in round one
|
spitting out pieces of his teeth
|
lost in a Paris graveyard
|
carrying his own wreath
|
|
And I have seen that movie
|
and it wasn¡¯t like that
|
he was mad and lonely
|
and blind as a bat
|
|
To the bridge
|
and the falling tree
|
Too deaf to hear his own song
|
You see
|
|
How does anyone get to there
|
We may never know
|
How they got that far
|
Or what made them go
|
|
But he had flown from his homeland
|
You could see him there
|
A gull circling
|
In the high desert air
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
And somehow I
|
Have to learn from this
|
`Cause I can hear him cry
|
And feel the hiss
|
|
Of the wind in his feathers
|
and the sand on his feet
|
As he dies in the desert
|
On that Paris street.
|
|
(Chorus out)
