HELLO SEATTLE

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 sea horse Feeling warm in your sand I sing about the tide and the ocean surf Rolling in the evening 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 heed for everyone 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
