Seagulls of November
Music and Lyrics by James McNair Ramsey

Throughout your life of discontent you vainly searched for love
Not knowing that your innocence fit you like a glove
And you’ve lived your life so heedlessly like a man without a care
And now your love is on the rocks and you’re an angel in despair
Off the beaten track I hear you calling in the night
And the leaves of autumn they no longer share my plight
And I know the moment of my freedom is in sight
For I’ve seen the seagulls of November taking flight

I heard it in a movie once that love could not be found
They say you rose before the dawn then left without a sound
And then I turned to face myself and you were standing there
The road before me opens up and now I see you everywhere

Off the beaten track I hear you calling in the night
And the streets of London they no longer share my plight
And I know the moment of my freedom is in sight
For I’ve seen the seagulls of November taking flight

Don’t you know you taught me how not to worry about love
And now I find life’s not quite what I had thought it was
And were I to be your guardian with but one truth to impart
I’d remind you of the beauty that remains your highest art

You are all I ever want and you’re all I ever need
You’re the one girl that I know that I will never leave
I’d leave you if I thought I could but where am I to go
Tonight my being keeps me here but why I’ll never know

Off the beaten track I hear you calling in the night
And the fields of Hixson they no longer share my plight
And I know the moment of my freedom is in sight
For I’ve seen the seagulls of November taking flight
