Okkervil River - Maine Island Lovers lyrics

To cheat on Maine islands days of laughter
Nights of sighing
To love without ceasing flowering orchards
Salty sea-things
To say without shyness "unreal city
You have killed me"
When you walked out on her love was it easy?
When I left him while
Sleeping was I dreaming?
We take each night's journey to
The hotel in a hurry
Where we love without worry on a
Bed that's five days dirty
And we read without irony from a
Book my husband bought for me
When I fell on the concrete it was lovely
Because you could see what's been
Running so hot in me
But when I fell on the concrete
You went white as a sheet
And wished that nothing in this world
Would ever hurt me well, keep wishing
Because when I look in my future
I don't see you and don't wish to
Idle talk made when I'm lying by
Your side on some Maine island
Is too funny to me, honey, so let's drop it
If you really want to love me, well
Then do it
