"Seattle Dreams in Shades of Green"
[Verse 1]
From Queen Anne's crown at twilight hour
The city spreads below
While Mount Rainier stands sentinel
In splendid alpine glow
The Sound wraps 'round the emerald hills
Like silver ribbons bright
As seaplanes dance with ferry boats
In fading evening light
[Chorus]
Seattle dreams in shades of green
Between waters and the sky
Where coffee flows and salt winds blow
And seagulls and eagles fly
Through urban woods and neighborhoods
Where cultures blend and weave
This city built on hills of gold
Still makes us all believe
[Verse 2]
Along the Washington Park trail
Where gardens touch the breeze
Past Japanese maples aflame
And ancient cherry trees
While houseboats bob on Portage Bay
Like memories set free
And University Bridge lifts high
To greet the sea
[Chorus]
Seattle dreams in shades of green
Between waters and the sky
Where coffee flows and salt winds blow
And seagulls and eagles fly
Through urban woods and neighborhoods
Where cultures blend and weave
This city built on hills of gold
Still makes us all believe
[Verse 3]
Through Chinatown's red lantern glow
Where history runs deep
Past bookshops old and markets bold
Where secrets keep
Down to the waterfront at dusk
Where music fills the air
While Pike Place neon’s paint the night
With colors rare
[Chorus]
Seattle dreams in shades of green
Between waters and the sky
Where coffee flows and salt winds blow
And seagulls and eagles fly
Through urban woods and neighborhoods
Where cultures blend and weave
This city built on hills of gold
Still makes us all believe
[Verse 4]
Atop Columbia Tower high
The world spreads out below
Three mountain ranges touch the clouds
In sunset's glow
Olympics, Cascades guard our home
Like giants old and wise
While urban canyons wind between
These Northwest skies
[Chorus]
Seattle dreams in shades of green
Between waters and the sky
Where coffee flows and salt winds blow
And seagulls and eagles fly
Through urban woods and neighborhoods
Where cultures blend and weave
This city built on hills of gold
Still makes us all believe
Seattle, Seattle, Seattle...
...in dreams we all can weave.
