Hello Seattle,
I am a mountaineer
In the hills, and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth
Hello Seattle, I am a manta ray
Deep beneath
The blue waves
I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home
Hello Seattle, i am the Crescent Moon
Shining down
On your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you
Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm
In your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in
The evening breeze
(Breeze, Breeze, Breeze, Breeze)
Hello Seattle,
I am an albatross
On the docks
And moored boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind
Hello Seattle,
I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright light
Red in the morning
Blue in the evening sun
Taking heat
For everyone
(Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer in the hills, and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots...)
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight...
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight...
