Seagull when you fly away
Please take me
To The Shores at Mackinaw
Rather than the sea

For this is a special place
A fairytale come true
A peaceful spot where I have spent
Countless hours watching you

As well have many others
Listening to your begging caw
Gazing upon the beauty
Taken back in awe

Cresting over clear blue waters
Lapping on the nearby shore
God has blessed this magic place
Who could ever desire more

Oh the fortunate ones
who never have to part
Mackinaw, oh, Mackinaw
You will always have my heart

Seagull when you fly away
Please leave me
For there is no other place
I truly long to be
