Seagull Orchestra Sailboats
Sailboats wish that they were stars
Floating softly in the sky
Among the spheres that bid goodbye
Moving through transparent seas
Drifting through the stratosphere
And onward till they disappear
The continents from overhead
Look like tiny paper shapes
Intricately set in place
Below the airplanes and the clouds
There's a lovely silver bay
Where sailors often hide away
An airplane carried me to bed
Where I slept above the coast
And dreamt I had become a ghost
I sailed above the mountain peaks
Deep in underwater caves
And somehow I walked on the waves
Scuba diver in the lock
Speedboat driver on the dock
Se plane pilot in the blue
Take me up there with you
Ocean freighter
And a bathtub full of salt
I was walking through the trees
I was sailing through the seas
I was falling through the air
When it hit me right there
The seagull doesn't even care about the news
Do boats get lonely in the night
When the side walks fill with leaves
And joggers taste the evening breeze
Buildings,
And freeways,
And street lights,
And painted pavements
Hotels,
And on ramps,
And road signs at the trail
Branches,
And sky ways,
And railroads,
And heavy traffic
Runways,
And restaurants,
And subways in the air
Inlets,
And harbors,
And islands,
And white sand beaches
Skylines,
And sunsets,
Where ocean meets the sky
Traveling car on the run
Fly the jet to the sun
Bring the spaceship in soon
While I play golf on the moon
My eyes are tired
And I fall asleep
Built in 1964
(Sailboats wish that they were stars)
An actress ran on the shores
(Sailboats wish that they were stars)
Dancing slow and in turn
I love you Audrey Hepburn
Steal your statue back and we'll fall in love...
