Cover art for Montauk lyrics by Rufus Wainwright

I absolutely adore this song. I just don't get the woman waiting in the ocean part in the end. Anyone knows what's about?

I believe this is a reference to Rufus's mother, who died about 2 years ago.

He talks about it a bit more in this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7monjN9xpJE

The rest of the song is an address to his new daughter, Viva
