Okkervil River A Girl In Port Lyrics
Let fall your soft and swaying skirt
Let fall your shoes
Let fall your shirt
I'm not the ladykilling sort
Enough to hurt a girl in port
Marie's gone blonde and lost a stone
She lay on her lawn, spurned and alone
And when the morning sun, it rose
Upon Marie and her lacy clothes
Well, it lit her up and she walked around
The winding streets of Camden town
Well, she don't know who she wants to be
And if I knew I'd tell Marie
Let fall your soft and swaying skirt
Let fall your shoes
Let fall your shirt
I'm not the ladykilling sort
Enough to hurt a girl in port
And Cindy tells me she's had fun
Sitting back stage, someone's plus one
Up in her room the records spin
Needle in the grooves that she's worn thin
Well, she lifts her sleeve and she sees a name
And she's got a smile on her face
And she's got a story you can't see
Well, that's just between that name and Cindy
And before Holly made her way
Over the sea and far away
She's telling me inside her car
Driving us back from the Crystal Corner bar
"'I lost it there, I fell from hell
Cut some fresh pieces from myself'
Then for a second something in me
Said 'Leave today. It's time, Holly
It's time'"
Oh, I'm a weak and lonely sort
Though I'm not sailing just for sport
I've come to feel out on the sea
These urgent lives press against me
I'm just a guest, I'm not a part
My tender head with my easy heart
These several years out on the sea
Made me empty, cold, and clear
Pour yourself into me
Let fall your soft and swaying skirt
Let fall your shoes
Let fall your shirt
I'm not the ladykilling sort
Enough to hurt
A girl in port
