I wanna go somewhere that it always rains
Like the first time I got on a plane
I saw it all from the window seat
We pierced the clouds and it came in sheets
The darkened skyline turned to night
Pouring rain against the flight
Thirty-thousand feet in the air
Against the clouds I saw it there
Your silhouette on the spiral stairs
Like the amber mountains of Sleeping Bear
Like the hobbit houses in Charlevoix
Like the lantern lit at Sable Point
So tell your sister and tell your son
Found myself in Washington
And tell your exes and tell your friends
Ended up in Oregon
Oregon-tell me what was different then
Oregon, Oregon-tell me what was different then
I wanna go somewhere that it always works
And I'm so glad even when it hurts
'Cause I know I can only get close
When I wrote him a letter about the coast
It said: your silhouette on the spiral stairs
Like the amber mountains of Sleeping Bear
Like the hobbit houses in Charlevoix
Like the lantern lit at Sable Point
So tell your sister and tell your son
Found myself in Washington
And tell your exes and tell your friends
Ended up in Oregon
Oregon-tell me what was different then
Oregon, Oregon-tell me what was different then
Oregon, Oregon, Oregon
Oregon, Oregon, Oregon
