Lyrics
(Written by bob hallett)
She left st. john's one day in may Dressed in her sunday best A kind man sat beside her As she cried her way out west
She moved in with her cousin Found a job down in the mall Her friends at home were jealous Said "we'll see you in the fall"
Chorus: But you know that she wants to try, never lets you see her cry You know that she wants to try, but she's got seagulls in her eyes
The people here seem really nice But the winter's way too long Her new friends don't understand They just tell her to be strong
She's made some decent money Yeah, but nothing comes for free The busy streets just don't compete With the sky, the rocks and sea
Chorus
(Got seagulls in her eyes)
Her parents came at easter-time They wanted her to stay But she went and got a panel van And moved home on her birthday
The girls in town all said She couldn't make it on her own Now the sky's a little smaller And it doesn't seem like home
Chorus (x2)
She's got seagulls in her eyes
