The night the power went in New York
I unzipped my pink dress
And thought of you
The phones were busy
But I was safe
The sky was hot
And full of stars
I sweated
Not feeling resentful
‘Cause you know
Everyone was doing it

The sirens and honking fire trucks
Waltzed with the hum of helicopters

I stood outside
Anonymous on the corner
Taking pictures of the remaining city lights
Flashlights and cell phones and candles and cars
Half frightened for my life
Half thinkin’ it’s startin’
The adventure that i’ve been waiting for
Knowing i might not make it
But something inside
Puts its hands in its pockets
Its back against the wall
And says don’t you worry
I always keep my cool

The night the power went out it New York
I watched the flickering shadow on the ceiling
Couldn’t see my misgivings in the mirror
Couldn’t call you but
Had no fear
Liked to hold you in suspense
Like to think of you when
I knew you’d be thinkin’ of me

It’s a night when anything is possible
No wonder there are so many thieves and drinking singles
Roaming the streets
Hoping and praying
Their next big chance will be right around that next dark corner

Mardi gras in new york city
Blisters on my toes
Too early to sleep but too dark to not
I think
If this was
If they were
Or maybe
Could be unforgettable

You know and outside on the street it’s stunning
Take it in ‘cause you won’t see it like this again
So dark and beautiful
So dark and beautiful
 
Stars on the new york skyline
Anything was possible

The night the power went out in New York
I unzipped my pink dress and blew the candle out
Found the first star to
Think of you
And just as simple as that
Oh just as simple as that
Oh just as simple as that
Just went to
Bed
Just went to bed
