about
FLY WITH THE SEAGULLS is a lament for a life long lost; a sombre and nostalgic farewell to land. However, throughout the song you'll find moments of hope with soaring brass and upbeat banjo.
lyrics
If I could fly as high as the seagulls
If I could glide on top of the winds
I would make my way ashore
I would make my way inland
I would sleep in those green fields again
Another dawn
Another day in the rain
And the storm
Holding onto memories forlorn
With a dream
A wretched fantasy
Swimming in my head each night
Trying to break free
No turning back now, committed to the sea
A sailor's life of solitude, of toil and misery
Farewell to England, farewell to solid land
Farewell to grass beneath my feet
Farewell to soil and sand
Oh, to see the open sky above me
The salt on the breeze
[CHORUS]
If I could fly as high as the seagulls
If I could glide on top of the winds
I would make my way ashore
I would make my way inland
I would sleep in those green fields again
If I could fly as high as the seagulls
If I could roam where I may on the winds
I would find my way to land
I would find my way back home
I would see those green fields again
Another sunset, another restless night
As I write my memories by lantern's murky light
The storm's approaching
We're sailing rugged seas
Through the pounding rain I know
Where my heart needs to be
Oh to see the open sky above me
The salt on the breeze
No, there is no turning back for me
Those fields of green are only memories
And no, there is no golden shore to keep
As the sea fills my sleep
[CHORUS]
If I could fly as high as the seagulls
If I could glide on top of the winds
I would make my way ashore
I would make my way inland
I would sleep in those green fields again
If I could glide on top of the winds
I would make my way ashore
I would make my way inland
I would sleep in those green fields again
Another dawn
Another day in the rain
And the storm
Holding onto memories forlorn
With a dream
A wretched fantasy
Swimming in my head each night
Trying to break free
No turning back now, committed to the sea
A sailor's life of solitude, of toil and misery
Farewell to England, farewell to solid land
Farewell to grass beneath my feet
Farewell to soil and sand
Oh, to see the open sky above me
The salt on the breeze
[CHORUS]
If I could fly as high as the seagulls
If I could glide on top of the winds
I would make my way ashore
I would make my way inland
I would sleep in those green fields again
If I could fly as high as the seagulls
If I could roam where I may on the winds
I would find my way to land
I would find my way back home
I would see those green fields again
Another sunset, another restless night
As I write my memories by lantern's murky light
The storm's approaching
We're sailing rugged seas
Through the pounding rain I know
Where my heart needs to be
Oh to see the open sky above me
The salt on the breeze
No, there is no turning back for me
Those fields of green are only memories
And no, there is no golden shore to keep
As the sea fills my sleep
[CHORUS]
If I could fly as high as the seagulls
If I could glide on top of the winds
I would make my way ashore
I would make my way inland
I would sleep in those green fields again
