Sister Seagull

Nelson

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
