Joe Fagin Annie song lyrics

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
