1. She left St. John's 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
R: But you know that she wants to try
Never lets you see her cry
You know that she wants to try
But she's got seagulls in her eyes
2. 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 the sky, the rocks, and sea
R: But you know...
3. Her parents came at Eastertime they wanted her to stay
But she went and got a panel van, moved home on her birthday
The girls in town all said she couldn't make it on her own
Now the sky's a little smaller and it doesn't feel like home
R: But you know... (2x)
