Portland by Eileen Torrez Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Portland, your sirens call to me
Voices of promise and mystery
Born inside a landlocked home
And twenty years a slave
Nothing but the golden coast
Could give me what I crave
[Chorus]
Restless wheels continue turning
None can shake me of this yearning to
Feel the sea spray on my skin
[Post-Chorus]
Ooooo
Ooooo
[Verse 2]
Portland, I sleep and dream of you
Gorgeous gray sky over silent blue
Though my lover's words drip sweet
His arms cast wide and strong
California's brightest sun
Can't hold me here for long
[Chorus]
Restless wheels continue turning
None can shake me of this yearning to
Feel the sea spray on my skin
Be a wild thing once again
[Post-Chorus]
Ooooo
Ooooo
[Chorus]
Restless wheels continue turning
None can shake me of this yearning to
Feel the sea spray on my skin
Be a wild thing once again
[Outro]
Chase on the heels of my soul to the end
Striving always to find the elusive peace within
Portland, your sirens call to me
Voices of promise and mystery
Born inside a landlocked home
And twenty years a slave
Nothing but the golden coast
Could give me what I crave
[Chorus]
Restless wheels continue turning
None can shake me of this yearning to
Feel the sea spray on my skin
[Post-Chorus]
Ooooo
Ooooo
[Verse 2]
Portland, I sleep and dream of you
Gorgeous gray sky over silent blue
Though my lover's words drip sweet
His arms cast wide and strong
California's brightest sun
Can't hold me here for long
[Chorus]
Restless wheels continue turning
None can shake me of this yearning to
Feel the sea spray on my skin
Be a wild thing once again
[Post-Chorus]
Ooooo
Ooooo
[Chorus]
Restless wheels continue turning
None can shake me of this yearning to
Feel the sea spray on my skin
Be a wild thing once again
[Outro]
Chase on the heels of my soul to the end
Striving always to find the elusive peace within
