Neil Diamond Brooklyn Roads Lyrics:
If I close my eyesI can almost hear my
motherCallin', "Neil, go find your brotherDaddy's
home, and it's time for supperHurry on" And I see
two boysRacin' up two flights of

report cards I was alwaysAfraid to show Mama'd

cryingTeacher'd say, "He's just not tryingHe's got

themAs I stood by my windowAnd looked out on
thoseBrooklyn roads Thought of going backBut all
I'd see are stranger's facesAnd all the scars that
love erasesBut as my mind walks through thoses
placesI'm wonderin'What's come of them Does some
other young boyCome home to my roomDoes he dream
what I didAs he stands by my windowAnd looks out
on thoseBrooklyn roads
