Bill Callahan - Seagull

A barroom may entice a seagull like me
Right off the sea, right off the sea
And into the barroom, the barroom
The barroom, barroom, barroom

And let go, yeah let go of the trapeze
And melt the snow of dream river
Dream river, dream river, river
Dream 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
