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
'Cause you could see what's been running so hot in me
But when I fell on the concrete, you went white as a sheet
Wished that nothing in this world would ever hurt me
Well, keep wishing

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
