about

Alone in New York when Hurricane Sandy struck.

lyrics

The city of light is pitch-black
When I walk back to my hotel
On 17th Street
Through a most surreal
Manhattan in the dark

No one to walk beside me
I am a stranger here
Far away from home
I am on my own
In Manhattan in the dark

Shadows loom all around
What is that sound I hear?
I heave a sigh when I climb the staircase

In the first light of morning
On the fourth day after the storm
I pack my things
And make my escape
From Manhattan in the dark
