Sirens ring out across the New York City night Lights blaze up and light up the city sky bright And there’s people screaming out “we’re all going to die”, “we’re all going to hell”
Bridge leans out across water no-one can swim in Man cries out “there’s nothing in this world for him” Well the river welcomes all around here, around here
Alexander & Annabel, all around them little hearts Never breaking away, maybe fading slowly, but never far apart Alexander loves Annabel, it says so right here On a bench in the dark, in the corner of the park Every New York City evening
The next day I return to the usual spot To my dismay, it’s cons in community day And they sandblast the love into dust, into spray
Alexander & Annabel all around them shattered hearts Turned into dust and with one mighty gust They are blown far far apart Alexander loved Annabel, it was there for all to see Now the bench in the park shines bright in the dark On this New York City evening
