Brooklyn Roads Lyric Neil Diamond THE ESSENTIAL 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
