[Verse 1]
Through these misty eyes, I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family and my country?
Heaven knows where I belong
[Verse 2]
Pack my bags tonight, here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train in the pouring rain
Say farewell but don't say goodbye
[Chorus]
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
[Verse 3]
One more glass of wine just for Auld Lang Syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now in my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine
[Chorus]
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
[Verse 4]
And we'll drink a toast to the blood red rose
Cheer a while the Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights and the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry
[Chorus]
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
Through these misty eyes, I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family and my country?
Heaven knows where I belong
[Verse 2]
Pack my bags tonight, here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train in the pouring rain
Say farewell but don't say goodbye
[Chorus]
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
[Verse 3]
One more glass of wine just for Auld Lang Syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now in my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine
[Chorus]
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
[Verse 4]
And we'll drink a toast to the blood red rose
Cheer a while the Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights and the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry
[Chorus]
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
