In the time when she was here
Lying here in the darkness
In a New York minute
And he was too much in this world
In the morning
Make these dark clouds disappear
You can get out of the rain
Somebody's going to jail
Everything can change
In a New York minute
And took a walk down through the park
And in these days
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute
One day he crossed some line
'Cause one day they're here
What the head makes cloudy
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
'Baby, I've changed, please come back'
You can get out of the rain
But men get lost sometimes
To the ones they love
As years unfurl
In a New York minute
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
The groaning city in the gathering dark
Until that day, I have to believe
Scattered somewhere down the track
Somebody going to emergency
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
And he won't be down on Wall Street
When darkness falls early
The heart makes very clear
Everything can change
In a New York minute
I hear the sirens wail
Everything can change
I believe, I believe
In a New York minute
The love of a girl
Everything can change
Everything can change
A desperate lover left his mark
The leaves were fallin' around me
In a New York minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York minute
But I know there's somebody somewhere
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
And people rush home
Things can get a little strange
They found his clothing
In a New York minute
Everything can change
I know the days were so much brighter
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
He had a home
If you find somebody to love in this world
And take care of your own
The wolf is always at the door
And he never came back
You better hang on tooth and nail
You better take a fool's advice
Everything can change
On some solitary rock
Next day they're gone
Everything can change
Things can get pretty strange
