Montauk

Rufus Wainwright

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'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

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
