Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime 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're nothing that'll 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?
Well, I'll see you tonight On the downtown train
Every night, every night is just the same
On the downtown train
I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I'll walk down your street and past your
gate I'll stand by the light of the four-way
You watch them as they fall Oh, baby,
they all having their heart attacks
They stay at the carnival,
but they'll never win you back
Well, I'll see you tonight On the downtown train
Every night,
every night is just the same
You leave me lonely
Well, I'll see you tonight
On the downtown train
All my dreams,
all my dreams fall like rain On the downtown train
Well, I'll see you
tonight On the
downtown train
Every night, every night is just the same Well,
I'll see you tonight On the downtown
train All my dreams,
all my dreams fall like rain
On the downtown train On the downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On the downtown train
