Back in Brooklyn, for the night It's easy and it's right It's freezing and it's bright It's everything I like Back and broken in some ways It's easier to stay Half a world away Forgetting every name I called you up When I got back Where have you been? Don't ask me that I'm casting off my half-empty shell Through all that I've lost, now I know myself so well The further away I walk, the more I'm a whisper Listen for me now You've got to listen for me now Back in Brookdale, after dark I know it's not my park But can't you get up? I need to find a spark I called you up When I got back Where have you been? Don't ask me
