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
