This morning
Language: English  after the Irish (Gaelic) 
This morning
I heard the voice of a seagull
And my soul took flight
Far, far away
Across waves
And oceans
Away, far away
I travelled to an island
To a faraway shore
I listened for the waves
I read the sky
I saw clouds sail past
and all the times that were gone
I saw the last faint traces
of time ran-on
