Throughout the year the seagulls
as seasons come and go
are always out there for me
be it sunshine, rain or snow
In the winter and the autumn
In the Springtime when it’s green
In the summer when it’s nice and warm
There are seagulls I’ll have seen
Always out there flying
or swooping ‘cross the sea
I’m so glad I have the seagulls
as they’re part of life for me

Each morning on the way to work
we drive beside the sea
Watching seagulls on the wing
my soulmate, Sal and me
It really is magnificent
to see this day by day
and we’d not swap it for a thing
as we love it just this way
Seeing seagulls flying by
as we drive to work and back
Is something we look forward to
Keeps sanity intact

On the beach here on my day
the best place to be
Outside the beach hut
beside the blue sea
Sou’ Westerly blowing
Waves green and blue
White horses leaping
with surf as they do
And the beach is quite empty
no one else was down there
Just me and the seagulls
the whole place to share

The seagulls were hopeful
as they flew overhead
But the fisherman’s stayed
nice and warm in his bed
And his boat remains covered
with tarpaulin and snow
His nets and his lines
packed away and in stow
No fish trail to follow
on the flat calm today
so no food for the gulls
as they flew on their way

On the old oyster beds
as a tide at mid-ebb gurgles
and glints in the midday sun
Seagulls play and water shines
And across the way
this special moment grabs attention
and captured there I breathe it in
and am at one

In Portsmouth the lions
outside the Guild Hall
sit patiently waiting
and watch over all
They can never of course
leave their posts as that would
disciplinary matters
be as they should
So instead they’re reliant
on gulls playing host
to the messenger service
in from the coast
They’ll speak of the sea
and the to-ing and fro-ing
they see from the sky
wherever they’re going
Of lions and gulls
it’s a partnership thing
which together to us
the truth they will bring

I have written of seagulls
(Well, I would, wouldn’t I?)
As, living in Sussex
you’ll oft hear their cry
They’re as much of a part
of a life by the coast
as the people who live here
The sea playing host
They’re loud and they’re boisterous
with exuberant glee
Born from the thrill
we all get from the sea
And I love every one of them
living down here
As their call and their antics
bring laughter and cheer
So here’s to the seagulls
up there in the clouds
I’m pleased I live with you
May my words do you proud
