Downtown Train (The Voice Performance)

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 have nothing that'll ever capture your heart

Yeah, 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

But can'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 same

Oh, on a downtown train (Downtown train)

I know your window, and I know it's late

But 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

And watch them as they fall, oh baby

They're all having their heart attacks

They stay at the carnival

But they'll never win you back

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 (Downtown train)

Oh yeah (Downtown train)

On a downtown train (Downtown train)

Yeah

On a downtown train, yeah
