Down by the prom lights and under the pier
The lads would be smoking and drowning in beer
Just up above them, Pavillion Hall
Old folks would gather, having a ball

The town would be busy some Friday nights
There'd always be disco's and always be fights
But over the pebbles where the sand meats the sea
Dancing with seagulls is where I'd be
Dancing with seagulls was my favorite game
It captured my idle thoughts and numbed the pain
THose long lonely evenings when I would be free
Dancing with seagulls as they danced with me

The sand was our dance floor soft underfoot
We danced by the light of the low lying moon
The music - the songs that my dance partners made
And the time would stand still as we danced and we played

Dancing with seagulls was my favorite game
It captured my idle thoughts and numbed the pain
THose long lonely evenings when I would be free
Dancing with seagulls as they danced with me

So much has happened since I was a kid
The memories fade of the things that I did
But dancing with seagulls those long lonely nights
Lives to remind me the rest of my life
Of the pain and the hurting of not being free
And the long lonely search for what really was me
Now that I've found him and now that I'm free
I remember the dancing the seagulls and me
