Seagull - Bill Callahan

A bar room may entice

A seagull like me

Right off the sea

Right off the sea

And into the bar room

The bar room

The bar room

Bar room, bar room

And let go, yeah let go of the trapeze

And melt the snow of dream river

(Dream river) River

(Dream river) River

(Dream river) River

I wonder if I’ll ever wake up

I mean really wake up

Wake up and wake you too

First thing that I will do

I will wake you too

How long have I been gone?

How long have I been traveling?

And how tired have I been?

And how far have I got?

In circling

and circling

and circling

With all the tolls we pay

We’ll own the highway someday

With all the tolls we pay

We’ll own the highway someday

And the weight of the world slips away

Slips away

And the seagull falls back on the sea
