    The poem describes different natural elements that address Seattle - a mountaineer who sleeps in hospital parking lots, a manteray who builds a home in Puget Sound, the crescent moon that acts as a sleeping pill, a cold seahorse warming in the sand, an albatross sailing above the city, and an old lighthouse that guides with its beams of light. It asks Seattle to carry it through the night, hold it securely, and sing it to sleep.

    Hello Seattle Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer In the hills and highlands I fall asleep in hospital parking lots And

    awake in your house Hello Seattle, I am a manteray Deep beneathe the blue waves Ill crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound And construct a summer home Hello Seattle, I am the cresant 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 your 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 lights Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun Taken heed from everyone Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer In the hills and highlands I fall asleep in hospital parking lots 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 I am) Carry me through the night (a mountaineer, In the hills) Hold me secure in flight (and highlands I fall asleep in hospital) Sing me to sleep tonight (parking lots and awake)
