Patty Smyth - Downtown Train lyrics

rate me

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

Ooh, be careful of 'em in the dark

Oh 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

Ooh, on a downtown train

Every night it's just the same

You leave me lonely, now

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

Baby, on a downtown train

Every night, every night, is 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

All upon 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

On a downtown train

All my dreams just fall like rain

All upon a downtown train

Ooo-oo-ooooh-ooh Ooo-wo-ooooh
