Downtown Train

Graziano Romani


Outside another yellow moon 
punched a hole in the nighttime, yes 
I climb through the window and down the street 
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 will ever capture your heart 
theyr'e 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 now 

Chorus 

Will I see you tonight 
on a downtown train 
every night is 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 

Chorus 

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 
where every night is just the same you leave me lonely 
will I see you tonight on a downtown train 
all of my dreams just fall like rain 
all upon a downtown train
