Dear Alex: "Girl In Port" Okkervil River

 Please listen to the lyrics of this song, they're just so lovely (and tragic).







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
With my tender head
With my easy heart
These several years out on the sea
Made me empty, cold, and clear
Pour yourself into me
