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 unfold
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 hand 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 tak 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
