In the midnight heat I thought I heard you call my name Or was it just the hustling in the streets The rustling of my feet Have I been alone too long You've always been in my subway dreams You left my heart just bursting at the seams I heard a whisper Was there someone right behind of me Or was it just a garbage Blowing in the streets The leaves on the trees I'm out in the Central Park All of them showed it, all I could see Were lonely people trying to hide in the backstreet You get stuck in the crowded streets The hookers smile from limousines The crowds look on, this mother yawns At the mugging on the street Check out empty bars full Ignore the drugs and lie on the floor I'm wishing you I was someplace else Like an everlasting dream I need you, why'd you run for me? We swore we'd be lovers but I never knew what that would mean Annie Stumbling round in empty bars Wishing I could have made a start I wanna be with you when they bring me down I'm a prisoner of the dawn Highways and byeways pass me but I don't know what they mean I was just wishing I was someplace else Like an everlasting dream I need you, why'd you run for me? We swore we'd be lovers but I never knew what that would mean Annie
