A Tree Grows in Portland

A tree grows in Portland
that's where she wants to be
awash with mist and morning haze
to be sunken down in leaves

A tree grows in Portland
With branches, average height
the same moon that shines on all
shines on it tonight

A tree grows in Portland
But that's really far away
the trees around dont break ground
well, not enough to stay

I've read the grass gets greener
on the other side of the fence
But sometimes the path's too hard
the jungle becomes to dense

A tree grows in Portland
unlike all the rest
don't mention the North or the Bible Belt
not the desert nor the Midwest

A tree grows in Portland
or maybe in a dream
no one ever said it was easy
sailing against the stream
