Maine Island Lovers - Okkervil River

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
