Copenhagen Sun Kil Moon

[Verse One]
Seat 14C Swiss Air
On the way to Copenhagen from Baden Switzerland
My favorite hotel in Scandinavia is there
They know me by name
They say, “Well hello Mr. Kozelek
Of course your courtyard room is ready
We’ve already added your extra pillows and blankets”
Last night’s show in Baden got me very sad and
Even the promoter said the audience was not fully concentrated
But after the show a woman approached me
And said, “Hey I think your voice is nice”
I said, “Thank God for that ‘cause other than that I don’t have a lot of options of thing to do in life”
I asked what she did for work there in Baden
She said she work with kids who needed help with speech development
I said “I remember those kids from my Elementary School”
Someone would come by and knock on the door and excuse them from the room
She said, “I know it’s still the same way and when they leave the room some of the kids laugh at them”
I said, “That stuff can scar you for life
I’ve got my own scars from my high school remedial reading classes
And I’ve carried them around an inferiority complex
Will amount to the amount of my success no matter how many people tell me how talented I am, I still carry around that stigma
I still feel like the dumb kid in the remedial reading class”
So on and on we went with our conversation
It was blatant flirtation on her end though
It could have been my imagination
She said, “It’s freezing out here; what are you doing later tonight?”
Said, “Going to my hotel. Why? What are you doing later tonight?”
She said, “You see this guy here standing next to me?
I’m going home with him; I’m his wife”
And we laughed and I said, “You asked me first
It’s not like I asked you to bed down with me tonight”
Let’s be clear I said “I was just asking, 'What are you doing later tonight’ ”
She said “Your interest are in what my plans are after one o’clock in the morning?”
I said, “Look, you asked me first”
And then we laughed and I hugged them goodbye
And I said, “I better get inside before I get pneumonia”
