San Sebastian Sunset

San Sebastian Sunset              © 1975 Tom Shindler

1. Seagull in the misty sunset sky
   Your wings are painted golden as you fly
   Upon the wind so graceful and so free
   above the cliffs that rise up from the sea
   You fly into the wind.
   You fly into the wind.
2. Suddenly another by your side
   Together on the ocean wind you ride
   And rise upon the wind above the shore,
   Then with wings held motionless, you soar
   And play upon the wind
   You play upon the wind.
3. A sphere of gold dips slowly in the sea.
   Peace to all the earth, it does decree.
   Wings of darkened silhouetes unfold,
   And fly across horizons painted gold
   As sun sets on the wind
   And sun sets on the wind
4. Alone I sit upon this rocky shore
   As music from my heart begins to pour
   Into the wind the strings begin to sing.
   The mountains and the ocean start to ring,
   And sing into the wind
   We sing into the wind.
