Lyrics Song To A Seagull (2021 Remaster) - Joni Mitchell

Fly silly seabird
No dreams can possess you
No voices can blame you
For sun on your wings

My gentle relations
Have names they must call me
For loving the freedom
Of all flying things

My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach
Out of cry

I came to the city
And lived like old Crusoe
On an island of noise
In a cobblestone sea

And the beaches were concrete
And the stars paid a light bill
And the blossoms hung false
On their store window trees

My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach
Out of cry

Out of thе city
And down to the seaside
To sun on my shouldеrs
And wind in my hair

But sandcastles crumble
And hunger is human
And humans are hungry
For worlds they can′t share

My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach
Out of cry

I call to a seagull
Who dives to the waters
And catches his silver-fine
Dinner alone

Crying where are the footprints
That danced on these beaches
And the hands that cast wishes
That sunk like a stone

My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach
Out of cry
