Introduction (Seattle, WA)

When everything is said and done, one question remains
Have you been to Washington lately?

Babe, your eyes look like the moon as I stare into your face
All the troubles of this world seem to vanish with a trace
Of the everpresent thought that you will leave me someday soon
You will turn your face away, and I'll no longer see the moon

Babe, the seasons change again, and I can feel your aging face
Drawing further from the moment as we sparingly embrace
All the bars and clubs we visit cannot reinvent your smile
Then you ask me just how far is 490 miles

We can go to Seattle
We could live in Seattle
We could get married in Seattle
But Seattle's not for me 'cause Seattle's just a dream

Babe, the skyline calls your name, and I knew this day would come
As you leave your moonlit past behind and venture in the sun
I want this town to know I played a part I made a vague impact
That this sun could not exist if our lives were still intact

We could have lived in Seattle
Been happy in Seattle
We could have died in Seattle
But Seattle's not for me, no Seattle's just a dream

Babe, the moon looks like your eyes as I leave my past behind
All the memories of Washington have faded out of mind
And I'm left with something vaguely close to comfort at the thought
Of being near your moonlit smile in Seattle after dark
