[00:11.73]If I close my eyes
[00:15.54]I can almost hear my mother
[00:18.22]
[00:19.65]Callin, neil, go find your brother
[00:22.27]
[00:23.77]Daddys home, and its time for supper
[00:27.14]Hurry on
[00:27.89]
[00:31.64]And I see two boys
[00:33.45]
[00:35.57]Racin up two flights of staircase
[00:38.77]
[00:39.50]Squirmin into papas embrace
[00:42.67]
[00:43.68]And his whiskers warm on their face
[00:47.05]Wheres it gone
[00:48.19]
[00:50.68]Oh, wheres it gone
[00:52.29]
[00:55.67]Two floors above the butcher
[00:57.67]
[00:59.48]First door on the right
[01:01.16]
[01:03.28]Life filled to the brim
[01:05.28]As I stood by my window
[01:07.90]And looked out on those
[01:10.76]
[01:12.20]Brooklyn roads
[01:14.41]
[01:17.78]I can still recall
[01:19.56]
[01:21.68]The smell of cookin in the hallways
[01:24.75]
[01:25.88]Rubber drying in the doorways
[01:28.67]
[01:29.81]And report cards I was always
[01:33.35]Afraid to show
[01:34.42]
[01:37.92]Mamad come to school
[01:39.59]
[01:41.59]And as Id sit there softly crying
[01:45.16]
[01:46.08]Teacherd say, hes just not trying
[01:48.70]
[01:49.84]Hes got a good head if hed apply it
[01:52.93]But you know yourself
[01:54.35]
[01:56.56]Its always somewhere else
[01:58.68]
[02:01.98]I built me a castle
[02:03.79]
[02:05.99]With dragons and kings
[02:07.60]
[02:09.98]And Id ride off with them
[02:11.79]As I stood by my window
[02:14.29]And looked out on those
[02:15.96]
[02:18.40]Brooklyn roads
[02:20.84]
[02:41.69]Thought of going back
[02:43.38]
[02:45.57]But all Id see are strangers faces
[02:48.35]
[02:49.55]And all the scars that love erases
[02:52.55]
[02:53.49]But as my mind walks thru those places
[02:56.55]Im wonderin
[02:58.11]
[03:00.73]Whats come of them
[03:02.16]
[03:05.91]Does some other young boy
[03:07.60]
[03:09.59]Come home to my room
[03:11.28]
[03:13.58]Does he dream what I did
[03:15.27]As he stands by my window
[03:17.67]And looks out on those
[03:19.93]
[03:22.13]Brooklyn roads
[03:24.70]
