Lyrics The Seagulls Name Was Nelson - MD Greyling

Well a long time ago in '67
A little boy was roaming on the beach
When all of a sudden he heard a creature cry
So near yet so far out of reach

He looked behind a rock so tall
And there before his eyes
Was an pure white seagull lying there
Windswept with pain in his eyes
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free

He fed that seagull limpets small
Until that bird could fly
And when he thought it was so
He let little Nelson go
And he flew above his head up in the sky

And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free

Well time had come for the boy to go
Sadness was in their eyes
But it's not for you to criticize
If you've never seen a seagull cry

And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free

And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free
Nelson the seagull
Free

And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free
Nelson the seagull free
Nelson the seagull free
