Lyrics 14th Street - Rufus Wainwright

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?
