  • Through these misty eyes
    I see lonely skies
    Lonely road to Babylon

    Where's my family
    And my country
    Heaven knows where I belong

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Every beat of my heart
    Tears me further apart
    I'm lost and alone in the dark
    I'm going home Writer/s: Kevin Savigar, Rod Stewart
