Paroles de 14th street

You've got my lost brother's soul

my dear mother's eyes

a brown horse's mane

and my uncles name

you walked me down 14th street

for the doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave

in the home of the brave and the weak



but why'd you have to break all my heart?

couldn't you have saved just 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 of 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 tomarrow

to 14th street where i won't hurry

and where i'll learn to save and not just borrow

and they'll be rainbows and we'll finally know
