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 

in the morning 



He had a home 

The 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 

If you find somebody to love in this world 

You better hang on tooth and 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 

When darkness falls early 

And people rush home 

To the ones they love 

You better take a fool's advice 

And take care of your own 

One day they're here; 

Next day they're gone 



I pulled my coat around my shoulders 

And took a walk down through the park 

The leaves were falling around me 

The 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 

The days were so much brighter 

In the time when she was here 

But I know there's somebody somewhere 

Make these dark clouds disappear 

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
