Matthew Barber & Jill Barber Song To A Young Seagull Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't let your mama love you too long
It'll make you weak instead of strong
What's right just might be wrong
And what looks good ain't always best
But when it's time to leave the nest if you fail to pass the test
You'll be just like all the rest and you'll be sorry
Don't let your mama feed you too much
She might get you in her clutches
And be just a pair of crutches
That you'll have to throw away
Maybe one sad day when your hair is turned to grey
You'll remember what I say and you'll be sorry

[Chorus]
Now's the time to go
Before the cold winds starts to blow
In any further in your home
Now's the time to know
If you got have half the strength to show
You're sure to make it all on your own

[Verse 2]
Don't let your mama catch you giving in If you wait for too much longer
Those old aches when things get stronger
And the feeling of the sick
Then the one you idolize won't be there to dry your eyes
Cause you'll be somewhere in the skies with no worry

[Chorus]
Now's the time to go
Before the cold winds starts to blow
In any further in your home
Now's the time to know
If you got have half the strength to show
You're sure to make it all on your own

[Outro]
Don't let your mama love you too long
It'll make you weak instead of strong
What's right just might be wrong
And what looks good ain't always best
But when it's time to leave the nest if you fail to pass the test
You'll be just like all the rest and you'll be sorry
