Winter a Go Go Songtext

von Yo la tengo

On the beach overseas
Icy water slaps at our knees
And the buoy was signaling
As if it knew we were far from home
And 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
And I'm helpless to do anything for you
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 all I can see
Were the walls closing in 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
I can't keep from wondering
