And his whiskers warm on their face Wheres it gone
Oh, wheres 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
Mamad come to school
And as Id sit there softly crying
Teacherd say, hes just not trying
Hes got a good head if hed apply it But you know yourself
Its always somewhere else
I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And Id ride off with them As I stood by my window And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads
Thought of going back
But all Id see are strangers faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks thru those places Im wonderin
Whats 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
