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