My dear mother's eyes
A brown horse's mane
And my uncle's name
You walked me down 14th Street
With a doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave
In the home of the brave and of the weak
But why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it
Why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a minor part
I could've clipped and saved and planted in the garden
Damn you, guess I'll have to get a new one
I love to sit and watch you drink
With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Don't ever change, you hungry little bashful hounds
I've got the sheep, poor Little Bo Peep has lost and filed for grounds
But why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it
Why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a minor part
I could've ripped apart and thrown it to the river
Wonder if there's hearts that will deliver
Don't ever change, don't ever worry
Because I'm coming back home tomorrow
To 14th Street where I won't hurry
Where I'll learn how to save not just borrow
And they'll be rainbows
And we will finally know
Why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it
Why'd you have to break all my heart
Couldn't you have saved a minor part
(x2)
You've got my lost brother's soul My dear mother's eyes A brown horse's mane And my uncle's name You walked me down 14th Street With a doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave In the home of the brave and of the weak But why'd you have to break all my heart Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it Why'd you have to break all my heart Couldn't you have saved a minor part I could've clipped and saved and planted in the garden Damn you, guess I'll have to get a new one I love to sit and watch you drink With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke Vaguely missing link Don't ever change, you hungry little bashful hounds I've got the sheep, poor Little Bo Peep has lost and filed for grounds But why'd you have to break all my heart Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it Why'd you have to break all my heart Couldn't you have saved a minor part I could've ripped apart and thrown it to the river Wonder if there's hearts that will deliver Don't ever change, don't ever worry Because I'm coming back home tomorrow To 14th Street where I won't hurry Where I'll learn how to save not just borrow And they'll be rainbows And we will finally know Why'd you have to break all my heart Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it Why'd you have to break all my heart Couldn't you have saved a minor part (x2) Explain Request ×
