Lyrics

Every direction at every speed we go
Dig in the garden, every seed that grows
Begging no pardon to spare the Portland Rose
Portland Rose (x2)

Cut off the poison that keeps the petals closed
Trust in your instincts, faith in what you chose
Tear down the trellis & spare the Portland Rose
Portland Rose (x2)

The thorns are biting in ways I’d never known
Balcony flowers love to see the show
Burn down the briar but spare the Portland Rose
Portland Rose (x2)

Portland Rose
An angel here ever since
She came down from Willamette
Portland Rose
The world is best when she's close
nary pluck a petal from my Portland Rose

Every direction every speed
Things I never knew I’d need

Human in every sense
A steamboat of elegance
