Seabirds - Martha Tilston

Don’t want to hold each other down

No need to hold each other down

Seabirds, you and me

Flight on the wing

We’ll own our shadow

Anyway, anyway you look it’s home

Love the way you smile

Your face lights up like Gabriel

So why, why do you look so sad?

Don’t want to hold each other down

No need to hold each other down

You can do your thing

I can do my thing

No need to hold each other down

Black, black velvet sea

You sit out on the balcony

Can I join you

Can I pour you a drink

Lover, nothing’s changed

Nothing’s moved or rearranged

We’re just two terns

Who’re now flying over the quay

No need to hold each other down

No need to hold each other down

You can do your thing

I can do my thing

No need to hold each other down

Don’t want to hold you down

No need to hold each other down

I just want to hold you

I don’t want to hold you down
