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
