1
If I close my eyes
2
I can almost hear my mother
3
Callin', "Neil, go find your brother
4
Daddy's home, and it's time for supper
5
Hurry on"
6
And I see two boys
7
Racin' up two flights of staircase
8
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
9
And his whiskers warm on their face
10
Where's it gone
11
Oh, where's it gone
12
Two floors above the butcher
13
First door on the right
14
Life filled to the brim
15
As I stood by my window
16
And looked out on those
17
Brooklyn Roads
18
I can still recall
19
The smell of cookin' in the hallways
20
Rubber drying in the doorways
21
And report cards I was always
22
Afraid to show
23
Mama'd come to school
24
And as I'd sit there softly crying
25
Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying
26
He's got a good head if he'd apply it"
27
But you know yourself
28
It's always somewhere else
29
I built me a castle
30
With dragons and kings
31
And I'd ride off with them
32
As I stood by my window
33
And looked out on those
34
Brooklyn Roads
35
Thought of going back
36
But all I'd see are strangers' faces
37
And all the scars that love erases
38
But as my mind walks through those places
39
I'm wonderin'
40
What's come of them
41
Does some other young boy
42
Come home to my room
43
Does he dream what I did
44
As he stands by my window
45
And looks out on those
46
