Youve got my lost brothers soul
My dear mothers eyes
A brown horses 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 of the weak
But whyd you have to break all my heart
Couldnt you have saved a little bit of it?
Whyd you have to break all my heart?
Couldnt you have saved a minor part?
I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden
Damn you guess Ill have to get a new one
Id love to sit and watch you drink
With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Dont ever change you hungry little bashful hound
I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep
Has lost and filed for grounds.
But whyd you have to break all my heart
I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river
Wonder if theres hearts that will deliver
Dont ever change, dont ever worry
Because Im coming back home tomorrow
To 14th Street where I wont hurry
And where Ill learn how to save, not just borrow
And theyll be rainbows and we will finally know
