Outside another
yellow moon
has punched a hole
in the night time mist
I climb through
the window
and down to the street
I'm shining like
a new dime
The downtown trains
are full
Full of all them
Brooklyn girls
They try so hard
to break out
of their little worlds
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?
Every night, every night
it's just the same
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
of the four ways
And watch them
as they fall, oh baby
they're all having
their 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, every night
it's just the same
you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train?
All my dreams
all my dreams
fall like rain
On a downtown train
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train?
Every night, every night
it's just the same
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train?
All my dreams
all my dreams
fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
All my dreams
fall like rain
On a downtown train
