High Flying Seagull - Dougie MacLean

In these tired and troubled times

It’s easy to feel afraid

And the angry young man

And the castles that he’s made

In these long and empty days

It’s easy to feel the fool

And the angry young man

He’ll break every rule

She comes to me

Like a high flying seagull

She comes to me

Like an eagle, she comes like a swan

In these tired and troubled times

It’s easy to feel alone

The angry young man

Does not know where he’s going

In these long and empty days

He’ll pull the curtain down

And the angry young man

Well, he spins round and round

She comes to me

Like a high flying seagull

She comes to me

Like an eagle, she comes like a swan

In these tired and troubled times

It’s easy to feel confused

The angry young man

No, he will not be abused

In these long and empty days

He’s going to get it right

And the angry young man

Well, he’s learned how to fight

She comes to me

Like a high flying seagull

She comes to me

Like an eagle, she comes like a swan
