Yo La Tengo - Winter a Go-Go (2003)

"A song for the first day of winter - that keyboard reminds me of something off More Specials. “

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

Oh-oh-oh-oh
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, 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

Oh-oh-oh-oh
It's not an impossible thing to do
I know there's a better life for you
I can't keep from wondering

Oh-oh-oh-oh
It's not an impossible thing to do
And I'm helpless to say anything to you
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I want to see a better life for you
But I can't keep from wondering
