Mary Chapin Carpenter - Downtown Train lyrics

Outside another yellow moon Has punched a hole in the nighttime I climb through the window and down to the street I'm shining like a new dime The downtown trains are full With all those Brooklyn girls They try so hard to break out of their little world You wave your hand and they scatter like crows They have nothing that will never capture your heart They're just thorns without the rose Oh, be careful of them in the dark And if I was the one You chose to be your only one Oh, baby, now, can't you hear me now? Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Where every night is 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 Oh, 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, every night is just the same? You leave me lonely Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Where every night, every night is just the same All upon a downtown train? Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Where every night, every night is just the same? You leave me lonely Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Where all my dreams just fall like the rain All upon a downtown train?
