lyrics

I smelt the sand banks drying in the sun
I heard the oystercatcher’s peepin cry
I saw the land scrubbed from our decks
Dark loom of coal dust and grime
I saw a thousand gulls lift and with them my heart - Fly Free

As we passed a river bend
I heard the sounds of the city fade
I saw the shelduck lead her young
Past where the fishing children waved
I saw the line of breakers that divided land from sea - Fly Free

I saw the lamps lit on the coast
As we left their warmth astern
I heard the mast creak, felt the decks tense
I felt the south west wind fill in
I saw the tug let go, and we spread our white wings wide - Fly Free
