The lyrics are to their short 2 minute recording are:

In every beat of my heart,

There's a beat for you

In every toast of wine

There's a toast for you

In all my conversation

You're my inspiration

In everything I do,

I do for you

Although we're so far apart

My love is true, true, true

In every beat of my heart,

There is a beat for you

===============

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies

Lonely road to Babylon

Where's my family

And my country

heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight

Here's one Jacobite

Who must leave or surely die

Put me on a train

In the pouring rain say farewell

but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea

To my own folk, that's where I want to be

Every beat of my heart

Tears me further apart

I'm lost and alone in the dark

I'm going home

One more glass of wine

Just for auld lang syne

And the girl I left behind

How I miss her now In my darkest hour

And the way our arms entwine

Seagull carry me, over land and sea

To my own folk, that's where I want to be

Every beat of my heart

Tears me further apart

I'm lost and alone in the dark

I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast

To the blood red rose

Cheer a while the

Emerald Isle

And to the northern lights

And the swirling pipes

How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea

To my own folk, that's where I want to be

Every beat of my heart

Tears me further apart

I'm lost and alone in the dark

I'm going home
