Don Henley - New York Minute lyrics

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.
