Downtown Train
Lyrics
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down in 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 worlds
Well 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 and if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Oh baby can't you hear me now
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Every night its 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 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
Every night its just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
All of my dreams just fall like rain
On a downtown train
Will I see you tonight (you tonight)
On a downtown train (downtown train)
Every night, every night, its just the same
Will I see you tonight (you tonight)
On a downtown train (downtown train)
All of my dreams just fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
