She left St. |
|
John's one day in |
|
MayDressed in her |
|
Sunday best |
|
A kind man sat beside her |
|
While she cried her way out |
|
WestShe moved in with her cousin |
|
Found a job down in the mall |
|
Her friends at home were jealous |
|
Said they'd see her in the fall |
|
Chorus: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 |
|
The people here seem really nice |
|
But the winter's way too long |
|
New friends, they don't understand |
|
Her mother wrote "be strong" |
|
She made some decent money |
|
But nothing comes for free |
|
The windy street, just can't compete |
|
With the sky, the rocks and sea |
|
ChorusHer parents came at |
|
Eastertime |
|
They wanted her to stay |
|
But she bought a panel van |
|
Moved home on her birthday |
|
Her friends were pretty cynical"Couldn't make it on your own..." |
|
Now the sky's a little smaller |
|
And it doesn't seem like home |
