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
