Downtown Train Lyrics - Everything But The Girl

Outside another yellow moon 

punched a hole in the nighttime, yes 

(I) climb through your window and down the street 

I'm shining like a new dime 

The downtown trains are full with all of 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 can 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, can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 

Every night it's 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, 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 

Where every night, it's just the same, 

you leave me lonely 

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 

All of my tears just fall like rain, all upon the downtown train
