Came Close To Dying

In the city one day 
I could not walk 
rain coming down 
thought my story was over
But I was saved by a magnificent stranger
who stopped his car 
and hailed me 
a livery car rider to the doctors
Who says New Yorkers have no heart
As the Grateful Dead have sung
"Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart 
you just have to poke around"
