"Pure Sound" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

[Intro:]
Hey

The air was cooling down, the sky was blue
I was heading north on Taylor Street
When I ran into you, we stopped to talk
Right there on the sidewalk, the air was new and clean

[Refrain:]
I was in between times

The mountains were clearly visible and your timing was cruel
You said almost everything right and your eyes shone like little jewels
We were talking while the temperature dropped
I was hoping against hope that the wheel would stop

[Refrain:]
You were nineteen I was in between times

[Outro:]
Hey
