[Verse 1]
Fly silly seabird
No dreams can possess you
No voices can blame you
For sun on your wings
[Verse 2]
My gentle relations
Have names they must call me
For loving the freedom
Of all flying things
[Refrain]
My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach
Out of cry
[Verse 3]
I came to the city
And lived like old Crusoe
On an island of noise
In a cobblestone sea
[Verse 4]
And the beaches were concrete
And the stars paid a light bill
And blossoms hung false
On their store window trees
[Refrain]
My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach
Out of cry
[Verse 5]
Out of thе city
And down to the seaside
To sun on my shouldеrs
And wind in my hair
[Verse 6]
But sandcastles crumble
And hunger is human
And humans are hungry
For worlds they can't share
[Refrain]
My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach
Out of cry
[Verse 7]
I call to the seagull
Who dives to the waters
And catches his silver-fine
Dinner alone
[Verse 8]
Crying where are the footprints
That danced on these beaches
And the hands that cast wishes
That sunk like a stone
[Refrain]
My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach
Out of cry
