Downtown Train

(album: It's About Time - 2020)

Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah
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 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
So, be careful of 'em in the dark
But if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Can't you hear me now?
Can't you hear me now?

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All my dreams just fall like rain
On a downtown train

I know your window; 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
And they all catch heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, baby
But they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night, is just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
Baby, on a downtown train?
All my dreams just fall like rain
On a downtown train

Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah
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
Can't you hear me now?
Can't you hear me now?

Will I see you tonight
Baby, on a downtown train?
Every night, every night, it's just the same
You leave me lonely, now
Will I see you tonight
Ooh, on a downtown train?
All my dreams just fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
