Okkervil River - Down the River of Golden Dreams

Maine Island Lovers

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
If you really want to love me, well, then do it
