She left St. Johns one day in May Dressed in her Sunday best A kind man sat beside her And 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" Buddy, you know that she wants to try Never you let 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 Her new friends don't understand They just tell her to be strong She made some decent money Yeah, but nothing comes for free The busy streets just don't compete With this guy that rocks her sea You know that she wants to try Never let you see her cry You know that she wants to try She's got seagulls in her eyes (Got seagulls in her eyes) Her parents came at Easter time And wanted her to stay But she went and got a panel-bed And moved home on her birthday The girls in town all said She couldn't make it on her own Now the skies a little smaller And it doesn't seem like home You know that she wants to try Never let you see her cry You know that she wants to try She's got seagulls in her eyes You know that she wants to try Never let you see her cry You know that she wants to try She's got seagulls in her eyes She's got seagulls in her eyes
