Seattle Bound

I wish I were a blind bee keeper so that I could see the world for what it is. I wish you were a lonely herder so that we could spend our days together. Can’t swim, can’t float, can’t dream, can’t gloat. Can’t swim, can’t float, can’t dream, can’t gloat but I will follow you until my heart finds home. Seattle Bound. And you must trust in me, in us, that home’s around. Seattle Bound. Stormy weather and long days of never-ending talks and falling airplanes. I remember that one year we spent together and the things we said we’d save. Now I’m lost in Idaho and you’re all alone at home. Wishing someone, somewhere would step up! Come on! Let’s go! Can’t swim, can’t float, can’t dream, can’t gloat. Can’t swim, can’t float, can’t dream, can’t gloat but I will follow you until my heart finds home. Seattle Bound. And you must trust in me, in us, that home’s around. Seattle Bound.
