I'm an engine driver
On a long run, on a long run
Would I were beside her
She's a long one, such a long one

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

I'm a county lineman
On the high line, on the high line
So will be my grandson
There are powerlines in our bloodlines

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

I'm a money lender
I have fortunes upon fortunes
Take my hand for tender
I am tortured, ever tortured

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
I am a writer, I am all that you have hoped on

And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go
(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go

Review about The Engine Driver

Touching | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/31/2008

i think this song is really moving, especially the "If you don't love me let me go" part and the verse about the money lender, I think it's really something.
I wasn't really a big fan of the Decemberists but it really is a touching song.

I'm not in love with the entire song, but some parts are just so bittersweet-- they make you sad in a good way. look up kiersten holine on youtube or myspace and you can download her cover of this. it's so good.
