Downtown Train Lyrics by 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 ever 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 fourway

    You watch them as they fall
    Ooh, 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
