New York Minute Lyrics

Eagles New York Minute

Songwriters: Henley, Don; Kortchmar, Danny; Winding, Jai L.;

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

In these days
When darkness falls early
People rush home
To the ones they love

You better take a fool's advice
And take care of your own
'Cause 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
He said, "Baby, I've changed
Please come back"

What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
You know 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
Things can get pretty strange

In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute

In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute
It can get pretty strange

In a New York minute
They can change
(In a New York minute)

In a New York minute
