"Raja Vocative" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

A bird you would have liked brought the sky down
But it was useless to see it without you around
And in the unstoppable camera of my mind's eye
I saw you and some foreign guy

[Chorus:]
And I could hear your voice ringing
I could hear you singing
From all away across the country in Palm Springs
I could hear you now

[Interlude]

Your laughter tore through the New Jersey night
And I can't stand it, but I'm all right
Stood out on the balcony and I took a look around
And a bird we would have loved the sight of brought the sky down

[Chorus:]
And I could hear your voice ringing
I could hear you singing
From all away across the country in Palm Springs
I could hear you now

[Outro]
