Lyrics

Morrison

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

He was lost and I don't think

he wanted it that way

like a gull blown inland

on a stormy day

Lost in round one

spitting out pieces of his teeth

lost in a Paris graveyard

carrying his own wreath

And I have seen that movie

and it wasn't like that

he was mad and lonely

and blind as a bat

To the bridge

and the falling tree

Too deaf to hear his own song

You see

How does anyone get to there

We may never know

How they got that far

Or what made them go

But he had flown from his homeland

You could see him there

A gull circling

In the high desert air

(Chorus)

And somehow I

Have to learn from this

`Cause I can hear him cry

And feel the hiss

Of the wind in his feathers

and the sand on his feet

As he dies in the desert

On that Paris street.

(Chorus out)
