H arry got up
D ressed all in black
W ent down to the station
A nd he never came back
T hey found his clothing
S cattered somewhere down the t rack
And he w on't be down on W all Street
In the m orning
H e had a home
T he love of a girl
B ut men get lost sometimes
A s years unfurl
O ne day he crossed some line
A nd he was too much in this w orld
But I g uess it doesn't matter a nymore
In a N ew York Minute
E verything can change
In a N ew York Minute
T hings can get pretty strange
In a N ew York Minute
E verything can change
In a N ew York Minute
L ying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
S omebody going to emergency
S omebody's going to jail
I f you find somebody to love in this world
Y ou better hang on tooth and n ail
The wolf is a lways at the d oor
In a N ew York Minute
E verything can change
In a N ew York Minute
T hings can get pretty strange
In a N ew York Minute
E verything can change
In a N ew York Minute
A nd in these d ays
When darkness falls early
A nd people rush h ome
To the ones they l ove
Y ou better take a f ool's advice
And take care of you r own
O ne day they're h ere
Next day they're g one
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
A nd took a walk down through the park
T he leaves were falling around me
T he groaning city in the gathering dark
O n some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his m ark
" Baby I've c hanged. Please c ome back"
W hat the head makes cloudy
T he heart makes very clear
T he days were so much brighter
I n the time when she was here
B ut I know there's somebody somewhere
M ake these dark clouds d isappe ar
U ntil that d ay I have to b elieve
I b elieve I b elieve
