Brooklyn Roads — текст песни (Neil Diamond)


Written by: Neil Diamond

If I close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Callin`, Neil, go find your brother
Daddy`s home, and it`s time for supper
Hurry on

And I see two boys
Racin` up two flights of staircase
Squirmin` into Papa`s embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face
Where`s it gone
Oh, where`s it gone

Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn Roads

I can still recall
The smell of cookin` in the hallways
Rubber drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always
Afraid to show

Mama`d come to school
And as I`d sit there softly crying
Teacher`d say, He`s just not trying
He`s got a good head if he`d apply it
But you know yourself
It`s always somewhere else

I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I`d ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn Roads

Thought of going back
But all I`d see are strangers` faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks thru those places
I`m wonderin`
What`s come of them

Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn Roads
