2
If I close my eyes
3
I can almost hear my mother
4
Callin, neil, go find your brother
5
Daddys home, and it's time for supper
6
Hurry on
7
And I see two boys
8
Racin up two flights of staircase
9
Squirmin into papas embrace
10
And his whiskers warm on their face
11
Wheres it gone
12
Oh, wheres it gone
13
Two floors above the butcher
14
First door on the right
15
Life filled to the brim
16
As I stood by my window
17
And looked out on those
18
Brooklyn roads
19
I can still recall
20
The smell of cookin in the hallways
21
Rubber drying in the doorways
22
And report cards I was always
23
Afraid to show
24
Mamad come to school
25
And as I'd sit there softly crying
26
Teacherd say, he's just not trying
27
Hes got a good head if he'd apply it
28
But you know yourself
29
Its always somewhere else
30
I built me a castle
31
With dragons and kings
32
And I'd ride off with them
33
As I stood by my window
34
And looked out on those
35
Brooklyn roads
36
Thought of going back
37
But all I'd see are strangers faces
38
And all the scars that love erases
39
But as my mind walks thru those places
40
Im wonderin
41
What's come of them
42
Does some other young boy
43
Come home to my room
44
Does he dream what I did
45
As he stands by my window
46
And looks out on those
47
Brooklyn roads
