Downtown Train

Lyrics

Outside another yellow moon
 Has punched a hole in the nighttime
 I climb through the window and down to the street
 I'm shining like a new dime
 The downtown trains are full
 With all those Brooklyn girls
 They try so hard to break out of their little world
 You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
 They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
 They're just thorns without the rose
 Oh, be careful of them in the dark
 And if I was the one
 You chose to be your only one
 Oh baby now, can't you hear me now
 Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
 Where every night is just the same
 You leave me lonely now
 I know your window and I know it's late
 I know your stairs and your doorway
 I walk down your street and past your gate
 I stand by the light at the fourway
 You watch them as they fall
 Ooh, they all have heart attacks
 They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back
 Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
 Where every night, every night is just the same, you leave me lonely / Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
 Where every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown train
 Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
 Where every night, every night is just the same,
 you leave me lonely
 Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
 Where all my dreams just fall like the rain,
 all upon a downtown train
