Lyrics Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright

Montauk

One day you will come to Montauk

And you will 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 laughed it out

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

One day you will come to Montauk

And see your other dad feeling lonely

Hope that you will protect him

You have stayed

Don't worry, I know you have to go

One day, years ago in Montauk

Lived a woman, now a shadow

But she does wait for us in the ocean

And although you want to stay

For a while

Don't worry, we all have to go

One day you will come to Montauk
