Donovan - Isle Of Sadness Lyrics






As a pilgrim I did go
To a land that I did know
To the shores of Trist la Cal
To see if I still felt the same
And the sun blazed madly insane.

But the seagulls they have gone
The seagulls they have gone.

I searched the sand for sound
My eyes forced to the ground
The wind it laughed wild and shrill
My heart it tried to spill its crazy tears
There's nothing left for me now.

For the seagulls they have gone
The seagulls they have gone.

I stand both young and old
But the winds of time blow cold
This much you must believe
It pains to see you grieve, I pity you
But there's nothing that I can do.

For the seagulls they have gone
The seagulls they have gone.

As a pilgrim I did go
To a land that I did know
To the shores of Trist la Cal
To see if I still felt the same
And the sun blazed madly insane.

But the seagulls they have gone
The seagulls they have gone.

    Dear Joey, What a nice surprise to see your comment! ... I was just looking for a beautiful song from Donovan that was also a demo, it was once at youtube called "Shapes that you know" but i remember a fan wrote as a comment it was actually called "Song for Dave Crosby". Some of the lyrics are " Do you get my point./ There's no mystery/ between you and me/ I'm not how you see.. mr Dave Crosby" It was about an argument or misunderstanding between them, and the use of drugs contributed to that.. It's such a lovely song Joey, I hope you can help :) Best wishes, Pauline
