[00:00:13] If I close my eyes

[00:00:19] I can almost hear my mother

[00:00:24] Calling Neil go find your brother

[00:00:29] Daddy's home and it's time for supper

[00:00:33] Hurry on

[00:00:40] And I see two boys

[00:00:45] Racin' up two flights of staircase

[00:00:51] Squirmin' into papa's embrace

[00:00:56] And his whiskers warm on their face

[00:01:01] Where's it gone

[00:01:06] Where's it gone

[00:01:12] Two floors above the butcher

[00:01:18] First door on the right

[00:01:22] And life filled to the brim

[00:01:26] As I stood by my window

[00:01:28] And I looked out of those

[00:01:34] Brooklyn roads

[00:01:42] I can still recall

[00:01:47] The smells of cooking in the hallways

[00:01:53] Rubbers drying in the doorways

[00:01:58] And report cards I was always

[00:02:01] Afraid to show

[00:02:08] Mama'd come to school

[00:02:14] And as I'd sit there softly crying

[00:02:18] Teacher'd say he's just not trying

[00:02:24] He's got a good head if he'd apply it

[00:02:28] But you know yourself

[00:02:34] It's always somewhere else

[00:02:39] I built me a castle

[00:02:45] With dragons and kings

[00:02:50] And I'd ride off with them

[00:02:53] As I stood by my window

[00:02:55] And looked out on those

[00:03:01] Brooklyn roads

[00:03:33] Thought of going back

[00:03:39] But all I'd see are stranger's faces

[00:03:44] And all the scars that love erases

[00:03:49] But as my mind walks through thoses places

[00:03:53] I'm wondering

[00:03:59] What's come of them

[00:04:05] Does some other young boy

[00:04:10] Come home to my room

[00:04:16] Does he dream what I did

[00:04:18] As he stands by my window

[00:04:21] And looks out on those

[00:04:26] Brooklyn roads

[00:04:33] Brooklyn roads
