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
