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