White Gull Rising
06:10Lyrics
Like a white gull rising in a shaft of sun,
Wings out-stretched, filled with the wind,
A solitary traveler in an oil-black sky,
I shall return to you, I shall return to you…
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ( other voices.)
Like a Coho salmon from uncharted seas,
Jumping, twisting, with silver back arched,
An acrobat dancing in rainbow spray,
I shall return to you ( dire) I shall return.
Ahh ahh + dire
Like a prodigal son, turning from thieves,
From crack houses, jails, from unholy gutters
Littered with glass and human debris
I shall return to You, I shall return.
Ahh ahh…..
Your forgivness shall cure me forever….
Dire…ohhh ohhh
Your love shall resurrect me, when like a white gull rising,
I shall return to you,( dire on going.)
I shall return to you
Ohh ohhh…..
You shall clean me and comfort me,
And bathe me in spring water
And you shall dress me in white linen
And feed me a feast of Thanksgiving.
You shall clean me and comfort me
And bathe me in warm water ( dire)
And bathe me and clean me
In warm water
And comfort me and bathe me
In warm water,
And comfort me and bathe me
In warm water.
