Lyrics

It was a dog's eye view
Second row, and wondering where he'd gone to
I still remember a wallflower saying
Something 'bout a god and lonely girls

And I sat in the Seattle sun
Watched the boats roll into harbor
There were no more reservations
With the needle covered over in the deep Sound water

I rode the train to the fairground
Had to walk another mile
I took the pictures of a lifetime
On a promise and a prayer

Yesterday I walked to Red Square
From the Neptune through the district
And I found my independence
When I talked to a lady who was wiser than her years

I said, "Love is nothing for you to decide
Love is natural
If you've gotta think about it for a while
Your heart is cynical"

I'm dreaming of Seattle
I can hear the boats upon the Sound
In the center of the city, they found
An empty red metal heart

Description

Kim says, "I got the inspiration for this song when I took a trip to the Pacific Northwest in 1996. I spent three days puttering around Seattle and Vancouver by myself. It was incredible. There were no compromises. I don't mean that in an Extreme Sports kind of way--but in a 'I'm in charge of my life and don't have to do what anyone else wants to do' kind of way."
