One more down for the Maritime Romance Album! this song ended up saddish, cause i felt like using a minor chord (b minor, to be exact) :) the second verse, and probably the chorus as well, comes from my reading of the first chapter of the book Men and Women by Dr. Larry Crabb. He was writing about how humans "are committed, first of all, to themselves," and how relational problems flow out of our self-centeredness. If that is a controversial statement, please read the book...i'm not going into any more depth here, right now. plus, i've only read the first chapter anyway :)
Seagull Say I Do
I. Once-white feathers
In the sky
Wandering restless,
Wondering why
Flight's come more than
Metaphor
Fleeing, leaving,
Wanting more
Ch. Do you know he loves you still?
Will come toward you if you will?
Let the voice of love speak through
Seagull say I do
II. Noise unceasing
Seeking peace
Should-haves, could-nots,
Crumpled dreams.
Wanting just to
Find oneself.
What's it costing
Someone else?
Ch.
III. Gliding on a
Gust long-dead
Find your wings and
Lose your dread.
Cherished are the
Stars alight,
Though they hang there
Every night
Ch.
