"I Corinthians 13:8-10" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

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

[Chorus 1:]
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 piece missing in the brick wall
We had an excellent view
Of the soldiers coming down the hall

[Chorus 2:]
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
