Everything But The Girl - Downtown Train lyrics

Outside another yellow moon Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes (I) 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 Where 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
