The Nigel Purcell Trio - As we leave across the sea (Remastered)

Oh the seagulls flying by
Under grey and mournful sky
Over land that we called our own
And the boats are in the bay
Come to take us all away
We'll be singing the mainland songs
Oh our ancestors stay
Keeping guard for us each day
As we leave across the sea

Oh the silence on that day
As our land just fades away
Though our hearts remain
And never will leave
Though in whisper goodbye
To remain we had to try
But the gods it seems
Were against us
Oh our ancestors stay
Keeping guard for us each day
As we leave across the sea
