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

I 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

[And] 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 and the white bird was gone
I remember your eyelids
I remember your body now
