[02:24.75]You know that I'm no fool [02:26.74] [02:27.86]I know that it's changing [02:29.46] [02:32.71]I see that it's changed [02:34.68] [02:37.35]I know that it's changing [02:39.13] [02:42.21]I see that it's changed [02:45.09] [02:49.82]But goodbye is too hard [02:53.47] [02:55.06]For me to say [02:56.93] [03:01.44]When I still believe [03:03.49]The good things [03:04.29] [03:05.05]Outweigh the bad [03:06.38] [03:08.18]I think of all the good times we had [03:12.26] [03:15.87]Think of all the good times we had [03:21.13] [03:46.93]A junkie steals a mayor deals [03:48.50] [03:49.23]Who knows what's coming next [03:50.57] [03:51.93]Traffic jams and greedy hands [03:53.75] [03:54.43]Did you read it in the text [03:56.42]Of the daily news [03:57.85]The subway blues [03:58.69] [03:59.34]How does your garden grow [04:00.77] [04:01.79]And the strikes and the likes [04:03.60] [04:04.52]All lined up in a row [04:07.12] [04:08.64]Something is wrong here [04:10.51] [04:11.01]It doesn't belong here [04:12.26] [04:13.58]People are locking themselves [04:15.34]Behind their own four walls [04:17.32] [04:18.51]It falls from the skies here [04:20.42] [04:21.02]But no one's surprised here [04:22.88] [04:24.07]And maybe that's the saddest part of all [04:27.34] [04:40.14]Jesus freaks [04:40.92]Mohammed speaks [04:41.71] [04:42.48]The Lord is on their team [04:43.82] [04:45.05]Tenements and midtown rents [04:46.83] [04:47.76]Rich and poor live in between [04:49.59] [04:50.12]Say a prayer and breathe the air [04:51.94] [04:52.59]In the cold or heat [04:53.85] [04:55.15]When evening falls the city calls [04:57.23]But the lights only shine [04:59.36]On empty streets [05:00.07] [05:02.03]Something is wrong here [05:03.64] [05:04.54]Doesn't belong here [05:05.98] [05:07.18]People are locking themselves [05:08.81]Behind their own four walls [05:10.78] [05:12.18]Falls from the skies here [05:13.90] [05:14.71]No one's surprised here [05:16.33] [05:18.20]Maybe that's the [05:19.38]Saddest part of all [05:20.65] [05:22.30]Something is wrong here [05:24.01] [05:24.89]Doesn't belong here [05:26.58] [05:27.46]People are locking themselves [05:29.25]Behind their own four walls [05:30.97] [05:32.49]Falls from the skies here [05:34.12] [05:35.02]No one's surprised here [05:37.06] [05:38.52]Maybe that's the [05:39.48]Saddest part of all [05:41.88] [05:56.60]I think of her [05:57.67] [05:59.06]I think of life's own music [06:01.93] [06:03.24]At least that's the way [06:05.13] [06:06.19]It used to be [06:07.29] [06:11.33]I think of her and I [06:14.25]See the children laughing [06:17.32]But it's only on the streets [06:19.08] [06:20.97]Of my memory [06:22.46] [06:25.45]And I never felt so lonely [06:27.47] [06:29.09]And so helpless [06:30.01] [06:32.20]Wishing that I didn't know the truth [06:36.02] [06:38.43]But they tell me [06:39.67] [06:40.51]That a friend is dying [06:43.52] [06:45.66]And there's nothing in this world I can do [06:50.32] [06:53.35]When she was good [06:54.48] [06:55.97]It was oh so good [06:58.06] [06:59.90]You were blessed [07:00.88] [07:01.58]If she smiled on you [07:04.72] [07:06.71]You could be king [07:07.79] [07:09.48]If she believed your story [07:13.37]When it was over [07:14.58] [07:16.74]If she laughed at you [07:18.41] [07:20.08]Now I've never felt so lonely [07:23.33]And so helpless [07:25.71] [07:27.00]I'm wishing that I [07:29.53]Didn't know the truth [07:31.12] [07:33.79]They tell me [07:34.84] [07:35.46]That a friend is dying [07:37.90] [07:40.46]And there is nothing [07:41.65]In this world that I can do [07:49.54] [08:01.33]The hands that used to reach out to everybody [08:05.34] [08:08.30]Now they're lying by her side [08:12.23] [08:14.10]And her eyes are closed [08:16.34] [08:18.22]No one really knows [08:19.90] [08:21.62]If she can make it through [08:23.30] [08:24.47]Another night [08:25.50] [08:28.34]Still most of what I love [08:30.20] [08:30.93]Is locked inside her [08:32.50] [08:34.51]Everything I thought [08:36.03] [08:36.96]I'd ever need [08:39.78] [08:41.01]My heart keeps crying [08:42.74] [08:43.79]You've got to hold on [08:45.88]A little bit longer [08:46.98] [08:47.64]But my head is sure [08:49.14] [08:50.96]That it's time to leave [08:52.59] [08:54.36]And I've never felt so lonely [08:57.30]And so helpless [08:59.78] [09:00.98]I'm wishing that I [09:03.20]Didn't know the truth [09:04.97] [09:07.00]And they tell me that [09:09.56]My friend is dying [09:11.84] [09:13.86]And there's nothing [09:15.13]In this world that I can do [09:22.50] [09:33.89]I've never felt so lonely [09:36.36] [09:36.92]And so helpless [09:38.51] [09:40.50]I'm wishing that I [09:42.43]Didn't know the truth [09:44.39] [09:47.01]They tell me that [09:48.91]A friend a friend is dying [09:51.72] [09:53.55]Oh New York City [09:54.94] [09:59.28]Can you say it ain't true [10:00.96] [10:03.23]Can you tell me now [10:04.59] [10:05.84]Before I'm leaving you [10:07.59] [10:09.44]I'd give anything I own [10:12.03]Just to believe in you again
