Harry got up, dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing scattered
Somewhere down the track
And he won't be down
On Wall Street anymore, now.

He had a home, love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes as years unfurl
One day, he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, things can get pretty strange
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute.

Lying here in the darkness, I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebody's going to jail
You find somebody to love in this world
You better hang on toothand nail
The wolf is always at the door.

In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, things can get a little strange
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute.

And in these days, darkness falls early
And people rush home to the ones they love
You'd better take a fool's advice than take care of your own
One day they're here, next day they're gone.

Pulled my coat around my shoulders
Took a walk down through the park
Leaves were falling around me
Groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark
"Baby, I've changed, please come back".

What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
I know the days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
I know that somebody somewhere
Can make these dark clouds disappear
But until that day, I have to believe, I believe, I believe.

In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, you can get out of the rain
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute.
