outside another year
lonely has punched a hole in the night times
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 birds
there are nothing that'll ever capture your heart
they're just stones without the words
be careful out there 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 it's just the same
on a downtown train
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 in the hallway
you watch them as they fall
oh baby they're having their heart attacks
they stare at the carnival
but they'll never win you back
will i see you tonight
on a downtown train
every night every night it's 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 it's just the same
will i see you tonight
on a downtown train
all my dreams all my dreams are like rain
on a downtown train
on a downtown train
all my dreams fall like rain
on a downtown train
