Downtown Train |
| Outside another yellow moon |
| punched a hole in the nighttime, yes |
| I climb through the window and down the street |
| 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 |
| You wave your hand and they scatter like crows |
| they have nothing that will ever capture your heart |
| theyr’e 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 |
| Chorus |
| Will I see you tonight |
| on a downtown train |
| 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 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 |
| Chorus |
| Will I see you tonight on a downtown train |
| where every night is just the same you leave me lonely |
| will I see you tonight on a downtown train |
| all of my dreams just fall like rain |
| all upon a downtown train |
