 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
 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
 REPEAT INTRO
 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
 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
 x2)
 REPEAT INTRO
