| 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 |
