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 pa** 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 pa** the test You'll be just like all the rest and you'll be sorry
