Outside another yellow moonHas punched a hole in the night time mistI climb through the window and down to the streetI'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are fullFull of all them Brooklyn girlsThey try so hard to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they scatter like crowsThey have nothing that'll ever capture your heartThey're just thorns without the roseBe careful of them in the dark
Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only oneOh, babyCan'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 sameOn a downtown train
I know your window and I know it's lateI know your stairs and your doorwayI walk down your street and past your gateI stand by the light of the four way
And watch them as they fall, oh babyThey all having their heart attacksThey stay at the carnivalBut they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?Every night, every night, it's just the sameYou leave me lonelyWill I see you tonight on a downtown train?All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rainOn a downtown train
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?Every night, every night, it's just the sameWill I see you tonight on a downtown train?All my dreams, all my dreams, fall like rainOn a downtown trainOn a downtown trainAll my dreams fall like rainOn a downtown train
