The Alessi Brothers, a duo of two twin brothers who only had a few minor hits in the 70s (such as Oh Lori and the 80s hit Savin' the Day), went a different direction than those bouncier pop songs, in this ballad from their first album.
[Verse 1]
There's a road I know I must go
Even though I tell myself
That road is closed
Like a lonely seabird
You've been away from land too long
Aw, too long
[Verse 2]
I don't listen to the news no more
Like an unwound clock
You just don't seem to care
This world isn't big enough
To keep me away from you
Aw, from you
[Chorus]
Seabird, seabird
Fly home
Seabird, seabird
Fly home
Like a lonely seabird
You've been away from land too long
Aw, too long
Suddenly you're with me
I turn and you're not there
Like a ghost, you haunt me
You find warmth in a 1-night bed
[Verse 3]
Sunsets, full moons
Don't turn you on
Like an untied dog
You just had to run
Like a lonely seabird
You've been away from land too long
Oh, no, too long
Seabird, seabird
Fly home
Seabird, seabird
Fly home
(repeat)
