[Chorus:]
I haven't been to Brooklyn
I didn't try to drive the train
And I haven't been to Belleview
Cuz i never was insane
And I never have spent an hour
Only think of your name
By the river in the gutter
On the corner in the rain
[Verse 1:]
I haven't broken gla**es
On the bar down on Main
And I didn't throw a stone
And not towards your window pane
I never have hoped that I could
Just hear you complain
By a river in the gutter
By the corner in the rain
I didn't go to a wedding
I didn't say anything profane
And I surely haven't heard
That you ever have done the same
I never really missed you
Especially not today
By the river in the gutter
On the corner in the rain
[Chorus:]
I haven't been to Brooklyn
I didn't try to drive the train
And I haven't been to Belleview
Cuz i never was insane
And I never spent an hour
Only think of your name
By the river in the gutter
On the corner in the rain
By the river in the gutter
By the sidewalk in the rain
By the river in the gutter
Under your window in the rain
