Seagulls Songtext
von Great Big Sea

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
Found a job down in the mall
Her friends at home were jealous
Said, "We′ll see you in the fall"

Buddy, 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

(Got seagulls in her eyes)
Her parents came at Easter time
And 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


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
