14th street

You´ve got my lost brother´s soul
My dear mother´s eyes
A brown horse´s mane
And my uncle´s name
You walked me down 14th Street
For the doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave
In the home of the brave and of the weak
But why´d you have to break all my heart
Couldn´t you have saved a little bit of it?
Why´d you have to break all my heart?
Couldn´t you have saved a minor part?
I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden
Damn you guess I´ll have to get a new one
I´d love to sit and watch you drink
With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Don´t ever change you hungry little bashful hound
I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep
Has lost and filed for grounds.
But why´d you have to break all my heart
I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river
Wonder if there´s hearts that will deliver
Don´t ever change, don´t ever worry
Because I´m coming back home tomorrow
To 14th Street where I won´t hurry
And where I´ll learn how to save, not just borrow
And they´ll be rainbows and we will finally know
My dear mother´s eyes
A brown horse´s mane
And my uncle´s name
You walked me down 14th Street
For the doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave
In the home of the brave and of the weak
But why´d you have to break all my heart
Couldn´t you have saved a little bit of it?
Why´d you have to break all my heart?
Couldn´t you have saved a minor part?
I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden
Damn you guess I´ll have to get a new one
I´d love to sit and watch you drink
With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Don´t ever change you hungry little bashful hound
I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep
Has lost and filed for grounds.
But why´d you have to break all my heart
I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river
Wonder if there´s hearts that will deliver
Don´t ever change, don´t ever worry
Because I´m coming back home tomorrow
To 14th Street where I won´t hurry
And where I´ll learn how to save, not just borrow
And they´ll be rainbows and we will finally know
