Intro: (x2) Verso 1: Her language was a perfect phrase Her playful prose followed me for days Down the alleyways of my desire To their final resting place Verso 2: In a vacation town where I lived year round She migrated here with the summer crowds And we fell in love under impossible smiles Life was perfect if just for a little while Pré-Refrão Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Hello exile And a thousand years may come and go We may never meet another soul Here on our own island of Elba in the Poconos (hold) Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Hello exile Verso 3: And we bathed in the sun Cut our jeans into shorts Outstared every star in the sky Under the cover of nowhere the present was a present It looked beautiful on you every night Verso 4: But we knew it would end yeah we knew it all along It was a future never reconciled It?'s as if letting your shackled heart feel loved was more difficult than total denial Pre-Chorus Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Hello exile And a thousand years may come and go I may never meet another soul Here on my own island of Elba in the Poconos (hold) Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Hello exile x2 Verso 5: Now I imagined her memory would fade in the void She'??d only reappear every now and again I'd smile at the thought of us Go back to my day But that was purely wishful thinking Pré-Refrão Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Hello exile And a thousand years may come and go I may never meet another soul Here on my own island of Elba in the Poconos And just play the last set of my mind ? Our passions were real from the summertime Swimming in the Delaware wringing out your long blonde hair Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Hello exile Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Hello exile
