yup agree, and more specifically, it's "flight of the seabirds, scattered like lost words, wheel to the storm and fly"..so I think of it as the seabirds moving toward the grey storm clouds and flying up and scattered around...YMMV
funny, I went to validate if it is "flight of the seabird" or "flight of the seabirds" and the first google search result has "wield".....I think the wield thing is coming from some non-deadhead website of song lyrics which made the mistake and all the other music lyric website copied that (like that copy song arrangements from site to site and you find the same mistakes from site to site)
