Through these misty eyes
I see lonely skies
Lonely road to BabylonWhere's my family
And my country
Heaven knows where I belongPack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely diePut me on a train
In the pouring rain
Say farewell but don't say goodbyeSeagull 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 homeOne more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behindHow I miss her now
In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwineSeagull 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 homeAnd we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the Emerald IsleAnd to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man crySeagull 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 homeEvery beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
