New York Minute Lyrics By Don Henley

    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 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 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 darkness falls early
    and people rush home to the ones they love
    you’d better take a fool’s advice and take care of your own
    one day they’re here next day they’re gone

    4
    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

    5
    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 new york minute
    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 everything can change
    in a new york minute you can get out of the rain
    in a new york minute everything can change
