Lyrics

If I was a seagull high and aloof

I'd sail to the highest perch on your roof

But I ain't no seagull, you know my name

And the wind's blowin fortune, the wind's blowin 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 the wind blows fortune, the wind blows pain

And so it goes, nobody knows

How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky

How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
