Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shinin' 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
[Verse 2]
You wave your hand, and they scatter like crows
They have 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?
[Chorus]
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night, every night, it's just the same
On a downtown train
[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 of the four way
[Verse 4]
You watch them as they fall, oh, baby
They are havin' their heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back
[Chorus]
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night, every night, it's just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
[Chorus]
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night, every night, it's just the same
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
[Outro]
On a downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
Ooh-hoo
