Written on the farm in Sturgeon Bay in between playing shows at Steel Bridge Song Fest June 2012 in WI. Recorded at home in Brooklyn, NY upon my return.
lyrics
Your face is sunshine baby
Can't bear to see you cry
I know I'm leavin' you again
To chase these silly dreams of mine
The clouds are scrawlin out the same old tired lines
Goodbye I love you Darlin kiss my lips just one last time
As my plane begins to taxi
As your taxi leaves my plane
I am with you in the backseat
I'll be with you on the train
Wave and smile and bless me as we pull away
With you I leave my little heart,
I leave my heart in brooklyn in the rain
And when you get home baby
Please promise you won't cry
I promise I will call and text
and photograph and write
Gotta keep the lifeline open
To reach what I left behind
Keep it safe and warm and dry
Because without it I will die
Though it may be sunny here in Sturgeon Bay
A cloud covers my name
Because I left my heart in Brooklyn in the rain
Bridges, boundaries and borderlines
They may keep me from you but only for a time
Keep my treasure warm and dry while I'm away
And I'll be home before you know it
To get my heart I left in Brooklyn in the rain
Left my heart in Bushwick, Dumbo, Bed Stuy. London
