Brooklyn, Goodbye

Josie, are you listenin', can you pull the veil apart
 Is the circle still unbroken, can you touch my serpent heart
 Is the light still in your window, the latch open on your door
 Or does some stranger occupy my footprints on your floor
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye in the wind and the pourin' rain
 Latino boys call out your name
 Why can't you still be mine
 Brooklyn, goodbye
 Why did I ever leave you, was I clean out of my head
 To rise up on that blue Monday and quit your perfumed bed
 Though it all made perfect sense, I was such a fool
 To leave behind the one who loved me more than all the world
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye in the wind and the pourin' rain
 Latino boys call out your name
 It's getting harder to recall when you were mine
 Brooklyn, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
 I just can't deal with the way
 Those Bay Ridge boys all know your game
 Why can't you still be mine
 Brooklyn, goodbye
 Now the storm is over and the streets are sparkling clean
 Do you sit upon your fire escape and read your Mister Greene
 Though we did the best for everyone concerned
 The price we paid cannot be measured in literary terms
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye in the wind and the pourin' rain
 Down on 47th, Latino boys call out your name
 It's getting harder to recall when you were mine
 Brooklyn, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
 I just can't deal with the way
 Those Bay Ridge boys all know your game
 Why can't you still be mine
 Brooklyn, goodbye
