Mary Chapin Carpenter - Downtown Train Lyrics
Outside another yellow moonHas punched a hole in the nighttimeI climb through the window and down to the streetIm shining like a new dimeThe downtown trains are fullWith all those brooklyn girlsThey try so hard to break out of their little worldYou wave your hand and they scatter like crowsThey have nothing that will ever capture your heartTheyre just thorns without the roseOh, be careful of them in the darkAnd if I was the oneYou chose to be your only oneOh baby now, cant you hear me nowWill I see you tonight on a downtown trainWhere every night is just the sameYou leave me lonely nowI know your window and I know its lateI know your stairs and your doorwayI walk down your street and past your gateI stand by the light at the fourwayYou watch them as they fallOoh, they all have heart attacksThey stay at the carnival, but theyll never win you backWill I see you tonight on a downtown trainWhere every night, every night is just the same, you leave me lonely / will I see you tonight on a downtown trainWhere every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown trainWill I see you tonight on a downtown trainWhere every night, every night is just the same,You leave me lonelyWill I see you tonight on a downtown trainWhere all my dreams just fall like the rain,All upon a downtown train
