Lyrics Yo La Tengo

Yo La Tengo

Winter A-Go-Go

On the beach overseas

Icy water slaps at our knees

And the buoy was signaling

As if it knew we were far from home

Then you looked at me

And all I could see

Were the lights that were flickering

And suddenly we were all alone

It's not an impossible thing to do

Yet I'm helpless to do anything for you

I can't keep from wondering

You were under a spell

Waiting for time to tell

If I could, you know I would

Accept this moment and sympathize

Then you looked at me

And then all I could see

Were the walls closing again

And the desperation in your eyes

It's not an impossible thing to do

I know there's a better life for you

I can't keep from wondering

It's not an impossible thing to do

And I'm helpless to say anything to you

I want to see a better life for you

But I can't keep from wondering
