Great Big Sea - Seagulls Lyrics
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 moneyYeah, but nothing comes for freeThe windy street, just can't competeWith the sky, the rocks and seaCHORUSHer parents came at Easter-timeThey wanted her to stayBut she went and got a panel vanAnd moved home on her birthdayThe girls in town all said,"Couldn't make it on your own..."Now the sky's a little smallerAnd it doesn't seem like homeCHORUS (x2)She's got seagulls in her eyes
