Midnight in Harlem

Well, I came to the city

I was running from the past

My heart was bleeding

And it hurt my bones to laugh

Stayed in the city

No exception to the rules, to the rule

He was born to love me

I was raised to be his fool, Lord, his fool

Walk that line, torn apart

Spend your whole life trying (Gotta spend your whole life trying)

Ride that train, free your heart (And free your heart)

It's midnight up in Harlem

I went down to the river

And I took a look around

There were old man's shoes

There were needles on the ground

No more mysteries, baby

No more secrets, no more clues

The stars are out there

You can almost see the moon

The streets are windy

And the subway's closing down

Gonna carry this dream

To the other side of town

Walk that line, torn apart

Spend your whole life trying (Gotta spend your whole life trying)

Ride that train, free your heart (And free your heart)

It's midnight up in Harlem
