She put her children off to sleep
Where their father is too
She knew she had to hurry
The park was closing soon
She knew the night was cold
But her passion kept her warm
Til a stranger came along
And broke her stride
With no alarm
No alarm to save herself
Still she's not waking up
No one heard her scream
The city never sleeps
So this must be a dream
She lives with the memory
There was no outer damage
And so they set him free
She tries to start all over
And learn from the pain
But every man she meets
Acts the very same
Everytime that they get close
To share each others arms
She tends to back away
Say goodnight
With no alarm
No alarm to save herself
Still she's not waking up
No one heard her scream
The city never sleeps
So this must be a dream
She lives with the memory
There was no outer damage
And so they set him free
The man that was set free
Has strucken once again
We read it in the paper
Knowing it'll never end
