Hello Seattle

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer In the hills and highlands I fall asleep in hospital parking lots And awake in your house 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 Hello Seattle, I am an albatross On the docks and your 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 lights Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun Taking heed 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 (Hello Seattle, I am) Carry me though the night (a mountaineer, in the hills) Hold me secure in flight (And highlands, I fall asleep in hospital) Sing me to sleep tonight (Parking lots, and awake in your house)
