Sister seagull, oh you're flying me too high Feel so dizzy underneath your open skies And it's strange the games we play to hide the crime Sister seagull, you're the reason I survive I am a prisoner who has thrown away the key My soul has vanished with a bird who flies so free And wings of change have strapped themselves o'er me Sister seagull, you're the reason I survive
I am waiting here for the tide to turn And the byways of the air to open Will you lead me there, by the broken stairway to the clouds To the clouds I am a changeling like the wind across the waves Though in the end there will be nothing left to save I will return one day with all the time you gave Sister seagull, you're the reason I survive I survive I survive
