Lyrics Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler

Seattle

Above the bar the TVs are showing the game

But we're not watching it, we're hardly focussing

Through the windows in the fading day

1st Avenue is turning grey

Do you ever look at me and see another man

Let's get two more beers and try to make a plan

Sometimes it feels as though I have a key

But every time I try it it won't turn for me

Seattle - you've got to love the rain

And we both love rain

We both love rain

We watched the city skyline from the ferry deck

And you put your arms around my neck

We talked of looking just out of town

Now it's looking like a dream shot down

I still believe that there's somewhere for us

But now it's something that we don't discuss

And you're the best thing I ever knew

Stay with me, baby, and we'll make it to

We'll make it to

Seattle - you've got to love the rain

And we both love rain

We both love rain

Seattle - I want you just the same

And we both love rain

We both love rain
