Rod Steward - Forever Young Lyrics

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 good-bye.

Seagull
carry me over land and sea
To my own folk
that's where I wanna be.
Ev'ry beat of my heart tears me further apart

I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm qoing 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 Ine over land and sea . . .

And we'll drink a toast to the blood of the 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 . . .
Ev'ry beat of my heart tears me further apart

I'm lost and I'm alone in the dark

I'm going home ! I'm going home !
