Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 made some decent money, yeah
But nothin' comes for free
The busy streets just don't compete
With the sky, the rocks, and sea
[Verse 4]
Ah, 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
[Verse 5]
She's got seagulls in her eyes
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
But you know that she wants to try
Never lets you see her cry
You know that she wants to try
She's got seagulls in her eyes
Ah, 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
[Verse 8]
She's got seagulls in her eyes
