Downtown Train

Downtown Train

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

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

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
