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.
