The day won't open it's eyes

The heavens above must be sick

I'm stood at the windows since five

All decked out for the trip



Hey hey i'm dying to meet with you

Hey hey i'm living to speak with you

Hey hey i'm waiting to meet you baby

Hey hey hey



Chorus



Big trip to portland

No more cooling my heels

Big trip to portland

My soul shall be healed



The master's out of my reach

He wanders around in the rain

Today is all that i seek

Today when i hold you again

Hey hey



Chorus

I take the prize i win the day

You say you love me all the way

I kill the pain that drags you down

You take us on from town to town



The sun's burning all thru' the day

It's doing the best it can do

I came with my bucket and spade

I came with the same things as you



Chorus



Big trip to portland

No more cooling my heels

Big trip to portland

My soul shall be healed
