Seattle Lights

It's a low tide, it's cold outside
As beautiful as love on the upside
Midnight comes, the time just runs
And hits me with the light of a thousand suns
My suspect grin, audacious skin
Won't even tell you half the places that I've been

Ain't about the fame, ain't about the money

Baby's gone down, to a west-end disco
Wants to come around, not for my shadow
Asks me to come down from my harboured heights
Into the Seattle lights
Seattle lights

The warm, fine Italian wine
Is toasted round like a wounded wind chime
The glasses ring, and the angels sing
Marionette dances on a piece of string
She tastes so sweet, so complete
Just be careful where you walk around in bare feet

Off her back like that, it turns out she's the harmony queen

I wanna come down, honey I miss you
I wanna come around, that ain't the issue
Wanna throw the traces of those cold nights
Into the Seattle lights
Seattle lights
I'm dead at the seams, I can't hold it together
I'll carry your dreams all through the nasty weather
Away from the faces of my insights
Into the Seattle lights
Seattle lights

I see the girls and their fellas neath the silver moon
They're all skating at the river by the big balloon
You lean close and keep telling me you won't, then you do

Maybe I'll go and see out the distance
Maybe I won't find any difference
Maybe I'll go and see out the distance
Maybe I won't find any difference
I just gotta run from these dog fights
Into the Seattle lights
Seattle lights

There ain't no romance in this whatsoever
While I try to slow dance for worse or for better
If I could have thrown all the wrongs and rights
Into the Seattle lights
Seattle lights

Into the Seattle lights
Seattle lights
Seattle lights
Seattle lights
Seattle lights
Seattle lights
Seattle lights
Seattle lights
