Mountain Goats, The - Going To Port Washington Lyrics






The trees were all decked out in their best fall colors
There was a snap in the air
When you eased down the window
And the New York sun brought out the highlights in your hair

And gently, gently
The constellations aligned
And as we crossed over the Frogneck's Bridge
I had something on my mind

When we rolled down the street
In the cool of the morning
I could feel the new day dawn
And somebody had gone and turned the waterworks on

And slowly, surely
I saw the whole story unwind
I had never loved anyone like I loved you
And I had something on my mind

Mountain Goats, The Going To Port Washington Comments
  1. P.... T....

    Wait damn I’m from port Washington what

  2. d.... ....

    I'm getting the feeling this is about an ending of something beautiful. This isn't easy or good but it's a moment of ephemeral perfection before this all ends.

  3. J.... M....

    I am a mountain goats fan from Port Washington and I didn't even know this song existed!

  4. B.... T....

    All I got to say is that the mountain goats are going places. . . A lot of places.

    B.... T....

    @Gray Amposta Going *to* places

    B.... T....

    and a lot of them.

    B.... T....

    I heard once that all these songs are a continuous story of one person/couple... anyone know anything about that? It would be interesting to listen to all of them in order.

    B.... T....

    There's a Spotify playlist somewhere with all of them together but I'm not so sure it's exactly one coherent story.

    B.... T....

    @Squiggs 【Glitches - ROM Hacks - Speedruns】 Not every song is about one person/couple. What you're thinking of is the "Alpha" series, so every song that has alpha in the title is about a specific title, and also every song on the album Tallahassee is about this couple.
