Set in the English south-coast town of Worthing, its a song about escaping from reality and loosing yourself in a fantisy world of freedom where you dance with creation

Lyrics

Down by the prom ligts and under the pier
The lads would be smoking and drowning in beer
Just up above them pavillion Hall
Old folk would gather, having a ball

The Town would be busy on some friday nights
There'd always be discos and always be fights
Over the pebbles where the sand meets the sea
Dancing with seagulls is where I'd be

Dancing with seagulls was my favorite game
It captured my idle thoughts and numbed the pain
Tose long lonely evenings I would be free
Dancing with seagulls as they danced with me

The sand was our dance floor, soft under foot
We danced bythe light of the low lying moon
The music the songs that my dance partners made
And time would stand still as we danced and we played

So much has happened since I was a kid
The memories fade of the things that I did
But dancing with seagulls those long lonely nights
Will live to remind me the rest of my life
Of the pain and the hurting of not being free
And the long lonely search ofr what really was me
And now that I've found him and now that I'm free
I remember the dancing the seagulls and me
