Portland Oregon

Starlings on the high-lines Warned the morning rush
Time is passing through a sane how I lost my touch
Seems to me I lost my way I left a long, long time
Now I'm afraid I have to say I kind of lost my mind

I went down to the point
The trees where bare and starving
I looked for shade to light a joint
And dream of Portland Oregon

Portland Oregon

I heard in the rumor mill
That you had run away
The problems I just couldn't kill
Had ruined another day
The smile that lit her face
Invited me to dance
It was just to brighten up the place
Where losers take a chance

I went down to the point
The trees where bare and starving
I looked for shade to light a joint
And dream of Portland Oregon

Portland Oregon

I'm so lonely for you dear
Nothing came to mind
Whenever you where oh so near
The stars would turn back time
I was warned in a subtle way
The laws of life are grounded
To a path you cannot stray
That God on high had founded

I went down to the point
The trees where bare and starving
I looked for shade to light a joint
And dream of Portland Oregon

Portland Oregon

If I'd known she make the coast
A home to where she's hiding
I would have left her long ago
With all the tears I'm crying
The smile that lit her face
Invited me to dance
It was just to brighten up the place
Where losers take a chance

I went down to the point
The trees where bare and starving
I looked for shade to light a joint
And dream of Portland Oregon
