[Intro] [sort sad harmonica intro]
[Verse] [Steady, deep, rolling, baseline, continuous through song]
Rain keeps falling on Seattle streets,
Neon lights dissolve in misty sheets.
Whispers echo through the harbor’s call,
A city built to watch the empires fall.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the tide rolls in, the tide rolls out,
Swallowing shadows, swallowing doubt.
[Chorus] [harmonica tenor saxophone play through]
Seattle swallowing the skyline whole,
Drowning the fire, devouring the coal.
Mountains stand but the heartbeat’s gone,
Lost in the fog where the sirens hum.
[Verse]
Coffee cups left on the counter cold,
Stories traded for a handful of gold.
Ferry boats cut through the evening gray,
Carrying pieces of yesterday.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the tide rolls in, the tide rolls out,
Swallowing shadows, swallowing doubt.
[Chorus] [Harmonica saxophone sad play through]
Seattle swallowing the skyline whole,
Drowning the fire, devouring the coal.
Mountains stand but the heartbeat’s gone,
Lost in the fog where the sirens hum.
[Bridge] [Piano]
Time’s a thief with a gentle face,
Stealing the light, leaving no trace.
The Sound keeps humming its lullaby,
As the city lets out its final sigh.
[Chorus]
Seattle swallowing the skyline whole,
Drowning the fire, devouring the coal.
Mountains stand but the heartbeat’s gone,
Lost in the fog where the sirens hum.
[Chorus]
Seattle swallowing the skyline whole,
Drowning the fire, devouring the coal.
Mountains stand but the heartbeat’s gone,
Lost in the fog where the sirens hum.
[Outro] [harmonica fade out]
