Biografia:
Okkervil River é um grupo de folk formado por amigos de segundo grau em Meriden. Após cada um tomar sua direção para a faculdade, todos se mudaram para a cidade de Austin, no Texas, para morarem juntos e formarem a banda. A formação incial contém o compositor Will Sheff, o baixista e bandolinista Zach Thomas e o baterista Seth Warren. Na banda em que a guitarra lidera o som e possui elementos perdidos do pop, há, na voz doce e suave de Will Sheff, letras sobre barcos, livros, referências a artistas como David Bowie e R.

A Girl in Port
Okkervil River
The Stage Names (2007)
Capo 2nd Fret
Chorus:
A
Let fall your
G D
soft and swaying skirt; let fall your
A Em
shoes; let fall your shirt. I'm not the
G D
lady-killing sort. Enough to
A G D
hurt a girl in port.
Verse:
A
Marie's gone
G D
blonde, and lost a stone. She lay on her
A Em
lawn, spun and alone. And when the
G D
morning sun, it rose upon
A Em
Marie, and her lacy clothes. It lit her
G D
up, and she walked around the winding
A Em
streets of Camden town. She don't know
G D
who she wants to be, but if I
A G D
knew, I’d tell Marie.
Chorus
And Cindy tells me she's had fun,
Sitting back stage,someone's plus one.
Up in her room,the records spin
a needle in the grooves that she's worn thin.
Well, she lifts her sleeve and she sees a name.
And she's got a smile on her face
And she's got a story you can't see
Well, that's just between that name and Cindy.
Interlude: A Asus4 A
And before Holly made her way
Over the sea and far away,
She's telling me inside her car
driving us back from the Crystal Corner bar.
I lost her there; I fell from hell
Cut some fresh pieces from myself
Then for a second something in me
Said leave today, it's time, Holly.
Interlude
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 aghast; I'm not a part
My tender head with my easy heart.
These several years out on the sea
Made me empty, cold, and clear pour yourself into me.
