Lesbian Seagull
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Over rocks and trees and sand
Soaring over cliffs
And gently floating down to land
She proudly lifts her voice
To sound her mating call
And soon her mate responds by singing
Caw Caw Caw
Come with me

Lesbian Seagull

Settle down and rest with me

Fly with me lesbian seagull

To my little nest by the sea
With me that's where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're with me
She skims the water
At the new time to seek
Her fish and she emerges
With one squirming in her beak

She plays among the waves
And hides between the swells
She walks the beach at twilight

Searching for some shells
Come with me

Lesbian Seagull

Settle down and rest with me

Oh fly with me lesbian seagull

To my little nest by the sea

With me that's where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're -- you're with me

And in the evening
As they watch the setting sun
She loooks at her as if to say
The day is done
It's time to find their shelter

Hidden in the dunes

And fall asleep the
Music of the moon
You and me

Lesbian seagull

You just watch the world oh my

Just you and me lesbian seagull

Side by side with me 'till we die
('Till we die)
You and I
We can make it if we try
Our love will keep us flyin' high

Until we die...

She flies so gracefully over rocks and trees and sand
Soaring over cliffs and gently floating down to land
She proudly lifts her voice to sound her mating call
And soon a mate responds by singing "Caw, caw, caw"

Come with me, lesbian seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Fly with me, lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea
With me, that's when you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're with me

She skims the water
At the new time to seek
Her fish and she emerges
With one squirming in her beak
She plays among the waves
And hides between the swells
She walks the beach at twilight
Searching for some shells

Come with me, lesbian seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Fly with me, lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea
With me, that's where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're...you're with me

And in the evening
As they watch the setting sun
She looks at her as if to say
The day is done
It's time to find their shelter
Hidden in the dunes
And fall asleep amidst
Music of the moon

You and me, lesbian seagull
You just watch the world, oh my
Just you and me, lesbian seagull
Side by side with me till we die
You and I, we can make it if we try
Our love will keep us flying high until we die

How is it possible that I’m just now discovering this profound, poignant, gloriously majestic song at the age of 54? I’m now reevaluating everything I’ve previously thought about music, humanity, and life in general. Thank you Engelbert Humperdinck. My soul now soars.

@davidarkham8716

This is actually a remake. The original is by Tom Wilson. But I like this version more.
