C Bb C Bb
[Verse 1]

Fly silly seabird

No dreams can possess you

No voices can blame you

For sun on your wings

My gentle relations

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

My dreams with the seagulls fly
Cm F C
Out of reach out of cry
