Seagull by Alistair Goodwin
I could be like a rushing storm, making its way over the sea,
You’d be like a harbour wall, patiently waiting there for me,
I could be like a full-grown mountain,
You’d take my rocks, build fountains in the park.
I could be like rushing stream, making its way over the land,
You’d kneel and take me, sweetly taste me, cup me in your hands,
I could be like a full-blown waterfall,
You’d be smooth rocks holding gentle pools below.

Chorus I
Sorry if I ever doubt you, I could never live without you,
Just hold me in your warm, tender love.
If we get lost I know we’ll find us, ‘cos we got rings and rites to bind us,
But most of all this warm and tender love.
-
I could be like a rushing wind, making its way over the sea,
I could hit the cliff tops, bend the tree tops, Prove the roof tops week,
You’d just hang there like a seagull,
Wings wide open motionless and free.
-
Chorus II
Sorry if I ever doubt you, I can never live without you,
Just hold me in your warm and tender love.
Sorry if I ever doubt you, I can never live without you,
Just hold me in your warm and tender love.
-
I could be like a falling tree, crashing its way through the canopy,
You’d be there to hear me, catch me, heal me,
Stand me up again,
I’d be all entwined in roots and vines, safely tied and you’d lend me your leaves.
-
Chorus III
Sorry if I ever falter,
I promised you on God’s high alter, I would,
Hold you through the tempest and the flood.
If we get lost I know we’ll find us,
We got rings and rites to bind us,
Most of all its warm…
Most of all this warm…
Most of all this warm and tender love.

The Alistair Goodwin Band Brighton, UK
The Alistair Goodwin Band recommends:
"Does what it says on the tin." These guys seem to be floating around creating sounds and music truly 'live'... as it should be. Mix of nice melodies, some quite transcient, all with a message.
