Seattle Rainy Night
I love a Seattle rainy night
Clouds hang low over the Puget Sound
The city glowing under streetlamp halos
From Alaskan Way to Capitol Hill
I love the way the drops start slow
Soft taps on the roof then a rolling beat
Like the sky has a rhythm
Saved for nights just like this
A spark in the sky as the storm arrives
Light flickering over Elliott Bay
Ferries float through foggy mist like ghosts
Like they are carrying secrets across the water
I love the shine after rainfall
Puddles catching neon from Pike Place signs
The skyline blurred just enough
Like a dream you can walk through
When I am out in the midnight drizzle
I feel the whole region breathing with me
Evergreens swaying and streets glistening
The Puget Sound humming an old familiar tune
I love a Seattle rainy night
It is the kind of night to settle the soul
The kind which washes the noise away
Wiping the slate clean for Seattleites
