Downtown Train
Outside another yellow moon
has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes,
I climb through the window and down to the street,
and 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 worlds.
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train,
where every night is just the same,
you leave me lonely now.
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train,
where all of my dreams just fall like rain,
oh baby, on a downtown train.
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 four-way.
You watch them as they fall,
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 is just the same,
you leave me lonely now.
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train,
where all of my dreams just fall like rain,
oh baby, on a downtown train.
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train,
where every night is just the same,
you leave me lonely now.
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train,
where all of my dreams just fall like rain,
oh baby, on a downtown train.
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,
be careful of them in the dark.
Oh, if I was the one,
you chose to be your only one,
oh baby, can't you hear me 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.
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train,
where all of my dreams just fall like rain,
oh baby, on a downtown train ...
on a downtown train ...
on a downtown train ...
on a downtown train ...
on a downtown train ...
