Black 47 - Brooklyn, Goodbye Lyrics
Josie, are you listenin', can you pull the veil apartIs the circle still unbroken, can you touch my serpent heartIs the light still in your window, the latch open on your doorOr does some stranger occupy my footprints on your floorGoodbye, goodbye, goodbye in the wind and the pourin' rainLatino boys call out your nameWhy can't you still be mineBrooklyn, goodbyeWhy did I ever leave you, was I clean out of my headTo rise up on that blue Monday and quit your perfumed bedThough it all made perfect sense, I was such a foolTo leave behind the one who loved me more than all the worldGoodbye, goodbye, goodbye in the wind and the pourin' rainLatino boys call out your nameIt's getting harder to recall when you were mineBrooklyn, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,I just can't deal with the wayThose Bay Ridge boys all know your gameWhy can't you still be mineBrooklyn, goodbyeNow the storm is over and the streets are sparkling cleanDo you sit upon your fire escape and read your Mister GreeneThough we did the best for everyone concernedThe price we paid cannot be measured in literary termsGoodbye, goodbye, goodbye in the wind and the pourin' rainDown on 47th, Latino boys call out your nameIt's getting harder to recall when you were mineBrooklyn, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,I just can't deal with the wayThose Bay Ridge boys all know your gameWhy can't you still be mineBrooklyn, goodbye
