the song was "Chains" by Tina Arena
Prelude:
i watched gull drown, oil slicked and dark,
mere silhouette in struggle on the beach
as ocean roared, slow-motion, to the call
for release and freedom from a battle
that could see no victor but by drowning.

Now:
you say you love that song so i dance it
for a strange while, hoping to out-dream
its darkness and appease your fearful
lonesome pain on stranded inner shores

but love cannot bear chains and i see
blind lyrics only bare blind hearts to the
essence of their wanting so i withdraw
before this song claws more than blood
