Montauk

Lyrics


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

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
