"She fell in love with a boy who spoke her second language
And who lived across the ocean in the evil empire
He awoke her sleeping heart and swept away the darkness
An acute fear of flying couldn't keep her away

She landed on her feet and joined his fledgling rock group
As they toured the evil empire selling t-shirts at the shows
She taught him what was real, she taught him he was okay
That his thoughts were not just rubbish, that he had something good to give

Still his heart was so ambivalent and homesick, of her he wasn't ever sure
But she gave in so sweetly that the spirit said, "Boy, you better go run to her"

So when she split, he hopped on a plane with his parents and his brother
He told her that he loved her
They were married in the summer"
-- Of Montreal, du og meg

One of my favourite love songs ever.
