RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - Montauk lyrics

rate me

One day you will come to Montauk

And see your dad wearing a kimono

And see your other dad pruning roses,

Hope you won’t turn around and go!

One day you will come to Montauk

And see your dad playing the piano

And see your other dad wearing glasses,

Hope that you will want to stay for a while!

Don’t worry I know you’ll have to go!

One day you will come to Montauk

And see your dad trying to be funny

And see your other dad seeing through me.

Hope that you will protect your dad

One day you will come to Montauk

And see your dad trying to be evil,

And see your other dad feeling lonely.

Hope that you will protect him, and stay

Don’t worry, I know you’ll have to go!

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta

One day years ago in Montauk lived a woman now a shadow

There she does wait for us in the ocean

And although we want to stay for a while

Don’t worry we all have to go

One day you will come to Montauk
