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 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 from 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 a Mountaineer)
Carry me through the night, (in the hills and highlands)
Hold me secure in flight, (I fall asleep in hospital parking lots)
Sing me to sleep tonight. (and awake in your house)
