Annie

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 me?
 Or was it just a garbage blowing in the streets?
 The leaves on the trees?
 I'm out in the Central Park
 Over my shoulder, all I could see were lonely people trying to hide in the backstreet
 ♪
 You get stuck in the crowded streets
 The hooker smiles from limousine
 The crowds look on us smother yawns at the mugging on the street
 Check out Harry's Bar of Four
 Ignore the drums that 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
 Annie
 Annie
 I'm stumbling around 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 byways 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
 Annie
 Ooh, Annie
 Annie
