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
