Lyrics
OH DEAR BROOKLYN
I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST MET
WALKING IN RAIN DOWN IN PROSPECT PARK
COUNTING THE STARS WHILE SHE SLEPT
OH DEAR BROOKLYN
IS THE F TRAIN RUNNING ON TIME
IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT SHE'S STRESSING OUT
SHE WORRIES THAT SHE'S LEFT BEHIND
OH DEAR BROOKLYN
WHAT IS SHE DOING TODAY
IS SHE SHOUTING ALOUD UP ON ROOFTOPS
PROOVING THAT SHE'S NOT AFRAID
OH DEAR BROOKLYN
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME
CUZ I CAN'T AFFORD THE LIFE THAT SHE WANTS
OR GIVE HER THE THINGS THAT SHE NEEDS
YET SHE'S ALL I WANT
ALL I NEED
ALL I ASK OF YOU DEAR BROOKLYN
WHEN WILL SHE COME BACK TO ME
OH DEAR BROOKLYN
DOES SHE STILL KNOW WHO I AM
OR COULD I JUST BE A FADED MEMORY
A WORN OUT SHELL OF A MAN
OH DEAR BROOKLYN
I WISH YOU COULD HELP HER TO SEE
AND HELP ME FIND THE WORDS INSIDE
THAT MIGHT HELP HER BELIEVE
THAT SHE'S ALL I WANT
ALL I NEED
ALL I ASK OF YOU DEAR BROOKLYN
WHEN WILL SHE COME BACK TO ME
