Hello Seattle

Lyricist: Adam Young     Composer: Adam Young

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 manteray
Deep beneathe 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~ ~ ~ )

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 lights
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
(Hello Seattle I am)
Carry me through 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)
