Hello Seattle - Of June [Song]

Nov 6, 2008 Music of the Moment

I recently found this song on TheSixtyOne.com and it is awesome. I grew up in Seattle and love the feeling of the city. I have listened to it four times in a row and love it a little more each time.

I’m going to need to pace myself to make sure I don’t kill it.

The lyrics are really pretty random.

Hello Seattle Lyrics
Of June

Hello Seattle,
I am a mountaineer
In the helms
And highlands.
I fall asleep in
Hospital parking lots;
And awake
In your mouth.

Hello Seattle,
I am a manta ray
Deep beneath
The blue waves.
I’ll crawl the sandy
Bottom of Fuget 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.

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 light.
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)
Carry me through the night;
(I am a mountaineer)
Hold me secure in flight,
(I fell asleep in hospital parking lots)
Sing me to sleep tonight.
