[Verse 1]
Her language was a perfect phrase
Her playful prose followed me for days
Down the alleyways of my desires
To their final resting place
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
[Refrain]
Oh-ooh-woah-ooh-woah, oh-ho
Hello exile
[Chorus]
And a thousand years may come and go
We may never meet another soul
Here on our own island of Elba in the Poconos
[Refrain]
Oh-ooh-woah-ooh-woah, oh-ho
Hello exile
[Verse 2]
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
But we knew it would end, yeah, we knew it all along
It was a future never reconciled
It's as if lettin' your shackled heart feel loved
Was more difficult than total denial
Her language was a perfect phrase
Her playful prose followed me for days
Down the alleyways of my desires
To their final resting place
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
[Refrain]
Oh-ooh-woah-ooh-woah, oh-ho
Hello exile
[Chorus]
And a thousand years may come and go
We may never meet another soul
Here on our own island of Elba in the Poconos
[Refrain]
Oh-ooh-woah-ooh-woah, oh-ho
Hello exile
[Verse 2]
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
But we knew it would end, yeah, we knew it all along
It was a future never reconciled
It's as if lettin' your shackled heart feel loved
Was more difficult than total denial
