Lyrics

You 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 have clipped and saved and planted in the garden Damn you, I 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 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 And 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 it? 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 it? 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?
