If I was a seagull high in a loof
I'd sail to the highest perch on your roof
But I ain't no seagull, you know my name
And winds blow fortune, winds blow pain
And so it goes, nobody knows
How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky

If I was a puppy dog in the early dawn
I'd make it to your house and sleep on your lawn
but I ain'ty no puppydog, you know my name
And winds blow fortune, winds blow pain
and so it goes, nobody knows
How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
