Brooklyn Roads (Live At Civic Auditorium / 1971) - Neil Diamond[00:00:00]
Written by:Neil Diamon[00:00:00]
If I close my eyes[00:00:13]
I can almost hear my mother[00:00:19]
Calling Neil go find your brother[00:00:24]
Daddy's home and it's time for supper[00:00:29]
Hurry on[00:00:33]
And I see two boys[00:00:40]
Racin' up two flights of staircase[00:00:45]
Squirmin' into papa's embrace[00:00:51]
And his whiskers warm on their face[00:00:56]
Where's it gone[00:01:01]
Where's it gone[00:01:06]
Two floors above the butcher[00:01:12]
First door on the right[00:01:18]
And life filled to the brim[00:01:22]
As I stood by my window[00:01:26]
And I looked out of those[00:01:28]
Brooklyn roads[00:01:34]
I can still recall[00:01:42]
The smells of cooking in the hallways[00:01:47]
Rubbers drying in the doorways[00:01:53]
And report cards I was always[00:01:58]
Afraid to show[00:02:01]
Mama'd come to school[00:02:08]
And as I'd sit there softly crying[00:02:14]
Teacher'd say he's just not trying[00:02:18]
He's got a good head if he'd apply it[00:02:24]
But you know yourself[00:02:28]
It's always somewhere else[00:02:34]
I built me a castle[00:02:39]
With dragons and kings[00:02:45]
And I'd ride off with them[00:02:50]
As I stood by my window[00:02:53]
And looked out on those[00:02:55]
Brooklyn roads[00:03:01]
Thought of going back[00:03:33]
But all I'd see are stranger's faces[00:03:39]
And all the scars that love erases[00:03:44]
But as my mind walks through thoses places[00:03:49]
I'm wondering[00:03:53]
What's come of them[00:03:59]
Does some other young boy[00:04:05]
Come home to my room[00:04:10]
Does he dream what I did[00:04:16]
As he stands by my window[00:04:18]
And looks out on those[00:04:21]
Brooklyn roads[00:04:26]
Brooklyn roads[00:04:33]
