(Tom Waits)
|
Outside another yellow moon
|
has punched a hole in the night time mist
|
I climb through the window and down to the street
|
I'm shining like a new dime
|
The downtown trains are full
|
full of all them Brooklyn girls
|
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
|
|
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
|
They have nothing that'll 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, every night its just the same
|
On a downtown train
|
|
I know your window and I know its late
|
I know your stairs and your doorway
|
I walk down your street and past your gate
|
I stand by the light of the four way
|
and watch them as they fall, oh baby
|
They all having their 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 its just the same
|
You leave me lonely
|
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
|
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
|
On a downtown train
|
|
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
|
Every night, every night its just the same
|
|
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
|
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
|
On a downtown train
|
On a downtown train
|
All my dreams fall like rain
|
On a downtown train
|
