Brooklyn Roads

	Lyrics：Neil Diamond Music：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 I looked out of those
	Brooklyn roads
	I can still recall
	The smells of cookin' in the hallways
	Rubbers 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 stranger's faces
	And all the scars that love erases
	But as my mind walks through thoses 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
