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

Then you looked at me
And all I could see
Were the lights that were flickering
And suddenly we were all alone

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It′s not an impossible thing to do (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yet I'm helpless to do anything for you (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I 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 (looked at me)
And all I could see (when you looked at me)
Were the walls closing in again
And the desperation in your eyes

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's not an impossible thing to do (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I know there's a better life for you (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I can′t keep from wondering

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It′s not an impossible thing to do (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I'm helpless to say anything to you (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I want to see a better life for you
But I can′t keep from wondering
