She Dleft St. John's one Gday in May dressed Din her Sunday Abest
A Dkind man sat beGside her and she Dcried her way out west
She Dmoved in with her Gcousin found a Djob down in the Amall
Her Dfriends at home were Gjealous said we'll Dsee you in the fall
But Dyou know that she Awants to try
DNever lets you Asee her cry
DYou know that she Awants to try
But Gshe's got Aseagulls Din her eyes
REPEAT INTRO
The Dpeople here seem Greally nice but the Dwinter's way too Along
Her Dnew friends don't Gunderstand they just Dtell her to be strong
She Dmade some decent Gmoney yeah but Dnothing comes for Afree
The Dbusy streets just Gdon't compete with the Dsky, the rocks, and sea
CHORUS

Her Dparents came at GEastertime they Dwanted her to Astay
But she Dwent and got a Gpanel van, Dmoved home on her birthday
The Dgirls in town all Gsaid she couldn't Dmake it on her Aown
Now the Dsky's a little Gsmaller and it Ddoesn't feel like home
CHORUS (x2)
