Text: Mountain Goats, The. Downtown Seoul.

There was a new song on the air

I saw you coming across the square

And a white bird broke the dark Korean sky

As the rest of my life went by



Had your warm hand on my face

I took your index finger in between my teeth

And I held it gently in place

It was resting lightly on my tongue in there

I saw you shaking in the cold Korean air

There but for the grace of the lord of song

I would be this very second and I\'m coming right along

You had your cardigan on

I looked toward the sky, the white bird was gone

I remember your eyelids...

I remember your body now
