  • This land belongs to the gulls
    And the gulls to their cry
    And their cry to the wind

    And the wind belongs to no-one
    The wind belongs to no-one

    I gave my breath to the song
    To the song, wasn't mine
    Neither of ship nor of sea
    Neither of glass nor of wine

    Leaving this ghost of a road
    I'm climbing hand over hand
    Toward that pinprick of light

    Toward the seed that God sowed
    Toward the seed that God sowed
    Toward the seed that God sowed
    Toward the seed that God sowed

    Toward the seed that God sowed
    Toward the seed that God sowed
    Toward the seed that God sowed
    Toward the seed that God sowed

    Oh baby
    Try to recognise it in my mind
    Try to stamp it out before it happens
    I try to recognise it in my mind
    Try to stamp it out

    The writing's on, the writing's on
    The writing's on the wall
    The writing's on, the writing's on
    The writing's on the wall

    The writing's on, the writing's on
    The writing's on the wall
    The writing's on, the writing's on
    The writing's on the wall

    The writing's on, the writing's on
    The writing's on the wall
    The writing's on, the writing's on
    The writing's on the wall

    The writing's on, the writing's on
    The writing's on the wall
    The writing's on, the writing's on the wall

    This land belongs to the gulls
    And the gulls to their cry
    And their cry to the wind
    And their cry to the wind
    And their cry to the wind Writer/s: DAVID GRAY
