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

To touch the sand once more
Where something allured
To speak of days gone by
With a tear stand in my eye, and I sing
And I saw, and much I knew

But the seagulls they have gone
The seagulls they have gone

Touch the rocks once more
Count the seagulls, four
See if I'm still needed
The land has all been weeded of the things I knew
There's nothing left for me now

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
