Intro
Verse 1
Outside, a-nother yellow moon,
Has punched a hole in the night-time, yes.
I climb through the window and down to the street,
I'm shining like a new dime.
Bridge 1
The downtown trains are full,
With all of those Brooklyn girls.
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds.
Verse 2
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.
Bridge 2
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?
Chorus 1
Will I see you to-night,
On a downtown train?
Every night it's just the same; you leave me lonely, now.
Verse 3
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.
Bridge 3
You watch them as they fall,
Oh baby, they all have heart-attacks.
They stay at the carnival but they'll never win you back.
Chorus 2
Will I see you to-night,
On a downtown train?
Where every night, every night, it's just the same, oh baby...
Will I see you to-night,
On a downtown train?
All of my dreams, they fall like rain, oh baby, on a downtown train.
Interlude
Chorus 3
Will I see you to-night,
On a downtown train?
Where every night, every night, it's just the same, oh baby...
Will I see you to-night,
On a downtown train?
All of my dreams, they fall like rain, oh baby, on a downtown train.
Coda
All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train.
All on a downtown train, a downtown train.
