Brooklyn I'm Calling

Brooklyn, I'm calling to tell you I'm sorry

I know that don't mean much now

You were young and I was wrong

And I know this is just a song

I ain't askin' for another go 'round

I just thought maybe you'd forgive me somehow

Andrea you said that I can't commit

You told me to look for Georgia

And that's what I did

Honey you deserve a star, because that's exactly what you are

And I hope your new lover is true

'cause those sad eyes, they weren't made for you

And oh, sweet Tess, I wish you the best

With your debutante and your suitors

At the circus of your past

Oh honey it was you to bring me my first tune

And I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Even though you were doomed from the start

Yet of all my friends, you stick by me again

And you say you'd ride this rusty train 'til it ends

Yeah because I've been around the world

Just singing about a girl

Never once, did you call me a fool

I hope some day, to make it up to you

To my mother, to my father, to my sister back home

And you know I want to tell you, of those things that I've done

Oh and I've not forgotten

Yes and I think about you often

You say that you're proud every step of the way

And you know, it keeps me going these days

Oh my Sally, I hold you so high

I can't find the words, though I've tried and tried

And sometimes, you're crazy

And sometimes, you've saved me

Wouldn't have had it any other way

And you know, it keeps me going, these days
