Downtown Train (Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 and 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 ture

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
