Intro         verse 1 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    verse 2 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 verse 3 Out of the city And down to the seaside To sun on my shoulders 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   verse 4 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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le désir de liberté et d'évasion, à travers l'image des oiseaux marins qui volent sans entraves. L'artiste exprime son sentiment d'isolement dans un monde urbain bruyant, où la nature est remplacée par des paysages artificiels. Elle aspire à retrouver la simplicité et la beauté des rivages, mais se rend compte que la réalité humaine est souvent marquée par un manque de partage et de connexion. Les souvenirs des joies passées s'entremêlent avec des réflexions sur la solitude et la nostalgie, tandis que la quête de liberté reste hors de portée.
