"In The Cold Seattle Rain"
[Verse 1]
Thumb out on I-5 tonight
Soaked through to my bones
She took my Chevy and my heart
Left me here alone
All I've got's her goodbye note
And memories of pain
Now I'm standing in the breakdown lane
In this cold Seattle rain
[Chorus]
In the cold Seattle rain
Watching headlights shine
Every car that passes by
Might lead me to a sign
Space Needle's glowing through the mist
Like some distant flame
Lord, I've got to find her
In the cold Seattle rain
[Verse 2]
Last I heard she's heading east
Past Pioneer Square
Where we used to share those coffee dreams
Before we fell apart
Now these truckers passing by
Say she's on the run
Toward the mountains rising high
Where storm clouds hide the sun
[Bridge]
Maybe she's in Issaquah
Where the foothills rise
I'd walk through these stormy peaks
Just to look into her eyes
Every driver that I flag down
Every truck that slows
Takes me one step closer
To the only love I know
[Verse 3]
City lights are fading now
As thunder starts to roll
Dark clouds over Bellevue
Hide the road she chose
State Patrol just warned me
Of ice upon the way
But I've got to keep on searching
Till I bring her home to stay
[Verse 4]
Word is she's headed east
Up through Snoqualmie Pass
Where black ice meets the hairpin turns
And fog rolls in so fast
These eighteen-wheelers passing by
Say they've seen her car
Threading through the mountain curves
With chains in the dark
[Final Chorus]
In the cold Seattle rain
Watching headlights shine
Every car that passes by
Might lead me to a sign
Space Needle's glowing through the mist
Like some distant flame
Lord, I've got to find her
In the cold Seattle rain
[Outro: Softly]
These mountain roads keep calling me
Through this cold Seattle rain...
