Lyrics Montauk - Rufus Wainwright

Montauk

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
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Da, da, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, do, da, da, da, doo, doo
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
