In the evening lyrics
by Sheryl Lee Ralph



Where are people when you need 'em?
When you need some help
They're just not around

Doesn't anybody work here?
I ain't got all day
What a crazy town

New York
Life in the city can be so hard
But after dark
New energy finds me
I light up the night and live like a star

In the evening the real me comes alive
I can feel it
In the evening something happens that I can't describe
But it helps me to survive

It's like magic, like something in the air
You can feel it
Close your eyes now and your heart will take you there
Just let it take you there

Monday morning when I'm lying in my bed
Standing around trying to cash a cheque
To pay for a bill

One room apartment with a beautiful view
On the alley out the back

All day
You've got to fight to defend your rights
Everyday I work like a soldier
Working to live, living for the night

In the evening the real me comes alive
I can feel it
In the evening something happens that I can't describe
But it helps me to survive

It's like magic, like something in the air
You can feel it
Close your eyes now and your heart will take you there
Just let it take you there

New York
Life in the city can be so hard
But after dark
New energy finds me
I light up the night and live like a star

In the evening the real me comes alive
I can feel it
In the evening something happens that I can't describe
But it helps me to survive

It's like magic, like something in the air
You can feel it
Close your eyes now and your heart will take you there
Just let it take you there

(Magic)
(Feel it)

(Feel it)
(Magic)

(Feel it)

(New York)

In the evening the real me comes alive
I can feel it
In the evening something happens that I can't describe
But it helps me to survive

It's like magic, like something in the air
You can feel it
Close your eyes now and your heart will take you there
Just let it take you there

In the evening the real me comes alive
I can feel it
In the evening something happens that I can't describe
But it helps me to survive

It's like magic, like something in the air
You can feel it
Close your eyes now and your heart will take you there
