Song to a Seagull

[00:10.17] Fly, silly seabird, no dreams can possess you
[00:18.25] No voices can blame you for sun on your wings
[00:27.10] My gentle relations have names they must call me
[00:36.63] For loving the freedom of all flying things
[00:45.04] My dreams with the seagulls fly
[00:50.16] Out of reach, out of cry
[00:59.99] I came to the city and lived like old Crusoe
[01:07.78] On an island of noise in a cobblestone sea
[01:17.01] And the beaches were concrete and the stars paid a light bill
[01:25.09] And the blossoms hung false on their store window trees
[01:34.46] My dreams with the seagulls fly
[01:39.44] Out of reach, out of cry
[01:54.79] Out of the city and down to the seaside
[02:02.29] To sun on my shoulders and wind in my hair
[02:10.64] But sandcastles crumble and hunger is human
[02:18.40] And humans are hungry for worlds they can't share
[02:28.06] My dreams with the seagulls fly
[02:33.09] Out of reach, out of cry
[02:43.37] I call to the seagull who dives to the waters
[02:52.69] And catches his silver-fine dinner alone
[03:01.04] Crying, "Where are the footprints that danced on these beaches
[03:08.80] And the hands that cast wishes that sunk like a stone?"
[03:18.31] My dreams with the seagulls fly
[03:23.39] Out of reach, out of cry
[03:39.41]
