Yo La Tengo: "Madeline" Lyrics

Madeline, hair in your eyes

With the voice as soft as satin

Madeline, you'll surely find

Smiles from inside a worried glance

You always kept me waiting

Somehow I never seem to mind

When the wind has caught your sail,

Come back and see me, Madeline

Madeline, after a while

They found your photo in a drawer

Madeline, from another time

I caught you standing in a door

When you were asked if we were sisters,

You replied you weren't sure

If the fog should ever lift,

Come back and see me, Madeline

Will you always keep me waiting?

Somehow I'm running out of time

When the wind has caught your sails

Come back and see me Madeline
