The Pilgrim Lyrics

In a September 2005 response to a fan, bass player Martin Turner said "The Pilgrim" was built on bass riffs, the slow section with guitarist Ted Turner's melody on top and then the 7/8 fast section. "I spent hours putting this together and it borrows somewhat from classical music I had studied. Andy did a good job of improvising the guitar over the top, not easy with that time signature".
