Píseň: Seattle

Album:
Privateering
Above the bar the TVs are showing the game
But we’re not watching it, we’re hardly focussing
Through the windows in the fading day
1st Avenue is turning grey 
Do you ever look at me and see another man
Let’s get two more beers and try to make a plan
Sometimes it feels as though I have a key
But every time I try it it won’t turn for me
Seattle - you’ve got to love the rain
And we both love rain
We both love rain


We watched the city skyline from the ferry deck
And you put your arms around my neck
We talked of looking just out of town 
Now it’s looking like a dream shot down
I still believe that there’s somewhere for us
But now it’s something that we don’t discuss
And you’re the best thing I ever knew
Stay with me, baby, and we’ll make it to
We’ll make it to
Seattle - you’ve got to love the rain
And we both love rain
We both love rain
Seattle - I want you just the same
And we both love rain
We both love rain
