Aoife O'Donovan - Stanley Park lyrics

See that gull on the old sea wall Some birds fly and others fall asleep To the beating of their wings As wind sings, the wind sings See that babe at her mother's breast If I could I'd take my rest Back in the belly from where I came Nobody knows my name, knows my name Half asleep in a bowl of gruel No one told me life was cruel My home is in this valley now And it's burning down, it's burning down If I find the fire escape I'll break the gla** and put on my cape I'll pretend I'm Superman Where are my friends? Where are my friends? I'm a poor wayfarer and I got no one to dry my eyes Time to lay this body down In the frozen ground, the frozen ground When I die Lord bring me back As a snow white gull I'll make my tracks On the sandy beach of the English bay Then I'll fly away, I'll fly away
