Texty: Mountain Goats, The. I Corinthians 13:8-10.

we heard the rats in the rafters scurry by

and we wondered about the color of the sky outside

in warsaw in 1939

it was alright just to be alive

it was good that you were mine

and you held your hands up

to form a heart in the air

you held you hands up with your thumbs touching

they formed a heart in the air



through the peice missing in the brick wall

we had an excellent view of the soldiers coming down the wall

and you held your hands up where i could see them

in the dark and they formed a heart in the air

you held you hands up

and they formed a heart in the air



i heard the old songs radiating from you

i heard the old songs radiating from you
