Seattle dripping onto me
Decades later, suddenly
Life and electricity
Softened with apricity
Seattle staring down at me
Decades later, suddenly
Warmed up, weakened in the knees
Smile, throw your love at me
Youthful rebellion
Suburban exclusion
The band bangs away to be beyond their idols
One sits listening
Is it one of those dreams
All too real, that you don’t feel ‘til you wake up
And can’t go back
Because it hasn’t happened yet
Seattle looking up at me
Decades later, suddenly
Smell of smoke stuck on the breeze
Whisper something so softly
Seattle melting next to me
Decades later suddenly
Worn out, sleeping peacefully
Dreaming of days like these
this is your life chuck johnson
