DOWNTOWN TRAIN - lyrics
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime
Yes 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 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, if I was the only one
To be your only one
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
Oh You leave me lonely

I know your window I know your door
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk past your window and downtown street
I stand by the light at the four way
You watch them as they fall
Oh baby, they all have heart attacks
You wait 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
Oh baby, you leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Every night, every night it’s just the same
Oh baby, you leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Every night, every night it's just the same
Oh baby, you leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Every night, every night it's just the same
Oh baby, on a downtown train

On a downtown train
On a downtown train
Oh baby, on a downtown train
Oh baby, on a downtown train
Oh baby, on a downtown train
