Seagulls Lyrics by Great Big Sea
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
She left St.John's one day in MayDressed in her Sunday bestA kind man sat beside herWhile she cried her way out WestShe moved in with her cousinFound a job down in the mallHer friends at home were jealousSaid they'd see her in the fallChorus:You know that she wants to try, never lets you see her cryYou know that she wants to try, she's got seagulls in her eyesThe people here seem really niceBut the winter's way too longNew friends, they don't understandHer mother wrote "be strong"She made some decent moneyBut nothing comes for freeThe windy street, just can't competeWith the sky, the rocks and seaChorusHer parents came at EastertimeThey wanted her to stayBut she bought a panel vanMoved home on her birthdayHer friends were pretty cynical"Couldn't make it on your own..."Now the sky's a little smallerAnd it doesn't seem like home
