Gulls
Laura Benson
Take my hand
I’ll lay it here in yours
In the sand
On this foreign shore
Take my hand
Won’t you clasp it to yours close
As we stand
Surrounded by our ghosts
And we’ll float
Like two gulls in the wind
We’ll float
Watch the earth as it spins
We’ll float
Like two seabirds fair
Over land remote
Suspended in the air, oh…
Take my words
Every paragraph and paraphrase
And for once
Won’t you leave me with nothing to say?
Take my words
I will write them for you on a page
Bind them up
Give you a book, that you can save
And we’ll float
Like two gulls in the wind
We’ll float
Watch the earth as it spins
We’ll float
Like two seabirds fair
Over land remote
Suspended in the air, oh…
Take my heart
I offer it beating
As we start
Maybe you can stop the bleeding
Take my heart
I will wear it for you on my sleeve
Don’t you part
Stay here and fall in love with me
And we’ll float
Like two gulls in the wind
We’ll float
Watch the earth as it spins
We’ll float
Like two seabirds fair
Over life remote
Suspended in the air, oh…
