Outside another yellow moon
punched a hole
in the nighttime, yes
climb through your window
and down the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
with all of those 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 can
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, can't
you hear me now
Will I see you tonight on a
downtown train
Every night it's just the same,
you leave me lonely now
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
You watch them as they fall
they all have 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,
it's just the same,
you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
All of my tears just fall like
rain, all upon the downtown train
