lyrics

Oregon:
Trees that congregate around the headlights of our car,
A quiet house on the hill where your uncle plays guitar;
You're too far.

Coarse faces rise from the seas
That cool your pilgrims' towns.
Model kits of homes wash up,
Small planes smile looking down.
Wave back to the water who can't stop greeting you,
But salute the castles whose moats outgrew them in

Oregon:
Trees that congregate around the headlights of our car,
A quiet house on the hill where your uncle plays guitar;
You're too far.

Before we came someone threw up
A school around these parts.
In the grass a white square on a
Hill you came from, once.
Pictures you borrowed to cut yourself out of
But couldn't hold onto your halves and I found them.

Will you come back?
Will you come back?
On the day that I became a ghost,
I wondered who was wearing my clothes.

Oregon:
I'll make myself prepared for floods falling every week,
Take in the rocks that lead the way to and from your street
Before we leave.
Oregon:
Trees that congregate around the headlights of our car,
A quiet house on the hill where your uncle plays guitar;
You're too far.
