We all saw you off at the station,
On that dark cloudy feeling of a day
There was music, the young girls all a waving,
Best wishes to vanquish the gray
The first letters told of your training,
Comrades at the dress parades
Each night as taps were sounded,
Lights out to drill the next day
Chorus
You are a long time gone from Brooklyn,
Still missing from the scenes we both knew
I now stroll alone by the river,
In my thoughts I am walking with you
Oft I dream that we’re together,
As dogwoods bloom amid an April snow
Seasons change and I’m growing weary
Hope and dread seem all that I know
Chorus
You are a long time gone from Brooklyn,
Still missing from the scenes we both knew
I now stroll alone by the river,
In my thoughts I am walking with you
Now I stroll alone by the river,
In my thoughts I am walking with you
