∙ 10y ago
Along time ago in '57 a little boy was running on the beach, when all of a sudden he heard a plaintive cry, so near and so far out of reach. He looked behind a rock so tall and there before his eyes was a pure white seagull lying there, windswept with pain in its 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 limp and small until that bird could fly and when he thought it was so, he let good 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
And the time did come for the boy to go and sadness was in their eyes. But it's not for you to criticize for you cannot see the seagull cry.
And the seagull's name was Nelson
