Neil Diamond
3
If I close my eyes
4
I can almost hear my mother
5
Callin', "Neil, go find your brother
6
Daddy's home, and it's time for supper
7
Hurry on"
8
And I see two boys
9
Racin' up two flights of staircase
10
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
11
And his whiskers warm on their face
12
Where's it gone
13
Oh, where's it gone
14
Two floors above the butcher
15
First door on the right
16
Life filled to the brim
17
As I stood by my window
18
And I looked out of those
19
Brooklyn roads
20
I can still recall
21
The smells of cookin' in the hallways
22
Rubbers drying in the doorways
23
And report cards I was always
24
Afraid to show
25
Mama'd come to school
26
And as I'd sit there softly crying
27
Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying
28
He's got a good head if he'd apply it"
29
But you know yourself
30
It's always somewhere else
31
I built me a castle
32
With dragons and kings
33
And I'd ride off with them
34
As I stood by my window
35
And looked out on those
36
Brooklyn roads
37
Thought of going back
38
But all I'd see are stranger's faces
39
And all the scars that love erases
40
But as my mind walks through thoses places
41
I'm wonderin'
42
What's come of them
43
Does some other young boy
44
Come home to my room
45
Does he dream what I did
46
As he stands by my window
47
And looks out on those
48
Brooklyn roads
49
