Seagulls

She left St.Johns one day in May

Dressed in her sunday best

A kind man sat beside her

And she cried her way out west

She moved in with her cousin

And found a job down in the mall

Her friends at home were jealous

and said "We'll see you in the fall."



You know that she wants to try

Never you let you see her cry

You know that she wants to try

She's got seagulls in her eyes



The people here seem really nice

But the winter's way too long

Her new friends don't understand

They just tell her to be strong

She made some decent money

Yeah, but nothing comes for free

The busy streets just don't compete

With this guy that rocks her sea



You know that she wants to try

Never let you see her cry

You know that she wants to try

She's got seagulls in her eyes



(She's got seagulls in her eyes)



Her parents came at Easter time

Wanted her to stay

But she went and got a panel-bed

And moved home on her birthday

The girls in town all said

She couldn't make it on her own

Now the skies a little smaller

And it doesn't seem like home



You know that she wants to try

Never let you see her cry

You know that she wants to try

She's got seagulls in her eyes (X2)
