| The seagulls of summer have flown | |
| The sailors have wintered their boats | |
| Come sit by the fire | |
| And tell me your secret | |
| Love isn't kept easily | |
| (Chorus) | |
| And is she beautiful | |
| She must be pretty or worth | |
| To ride the high seas | |
| She must be beautiful | |
| White linen sails | |
| That have captured your vagrant breeze | |
| Singing a siren's song | |
| Luring you far from the harbor and into the gales | |
| She must be beautiful | |
| So beautiful | |
| To have stolen the wind from my sail | |
| Casting your dreams out of sea | |
| Will you remember me | |
| As years go by | |
| Washed away with the tide | |
| It was I who set you free |
| The seagulls of summer have flown | |
| The sailors have wintered their boats | |
| Come sit by the fire | |
| And tell me your secret | |
| Love isn' t kept easily | |
| Chorus | |
| And is she beautiful | |
| She must be pretty or worth | |
| To ride the high seas | |
| She must be beautiful | |
| White linen sails | |
| That have captured your vagrant breeze | |
| Singing a siren' s song | |
| Luring you far from the harbor and into the gales | |
| She must be beautiful | |
| So beautiful | |
| To have stolen the wind from my sail | |
| Casting your dreams out of sea | |
| Will you remember me | |
| As years go by | |
| Washed away with the tide | |
| It was I who set you free |
| The seagulls of summer have flown | |
| The sailors have wintered their boats | |
| Come sit by the fire | |
| And tell me your secret | |
| Love isn' t kept easily | |
| Chorus | |
| And is she beautiful | |
| She must be pretty or worth | |
| To ride the high seas | |
| She must be beautiful | |
| White linen sails | |
| That have captured your vagrant breeze | |
| Singing a siren' s song | |
| Luring you far from the harbor and into the gales | |
| She must be beautiful | |
| So beautiful | |
| To have stolen the wind from my sail | |
| Casting your dreams out of sea | |
| Will you remember me | |
| As years go by | |
| Washed away with the tide | |
| It was I who set you free |
