Sister Seagull

Sister seagull, oh you're flying me too high
Feel so dizzy underneath your open skies
And it's strange the games we play to hide the crime
Sister seagull, you're the reason I survive

I am a prisoner who has thrown away the key
My soul has vanished with a bird who flies so free
And wings of change have strapped themselves o'er me
Sister seagull, you're the reason I survive

I am waiting here for the tide to turn
And the byways of the air to open
Will you lead me there, by the broken stairway to the clouds
To the clouds

I am a changeling like the wind across the waves
Though in the end there will be nothing left to save
I will return one day with all the time you gave
Sister seagull, you're the reason I survive
I survive
I survive
