Tom Waits - Downtown Train

Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime mist
I climb to the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
Full of all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard
To break out of their little worlds

Well, 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
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 now?
Can't you hear me now?

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
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, baby, 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?
Every night, every night is just the same
Oh, baby

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All of my dreams, they fall like rain
Oh, baby, on a downtown train

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night, every night is just the same
Oh, baby

Will I see you tonight
Ooh, on a downtown train?
All of my dream just fall like rain
Oh, on a downtown train
Oh, on a downtown train
Oh, on a downtown train
Oh, on a downtown train
On a downtown train
Downtown train
Ooh
