Rufus Wainwright - 14th Street lyrics

[Rufus Wainwright - 14th Street lyrics]

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
For the 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 have clipped and saved
And planted in the garden
Damn you guess I'll have to get a new one

I'd 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 hound


I 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 have ripped apart and
Thrown into the river
Wonder if they are 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
And where I'll learn how to save
Not just borrow and there'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 of it?
