tom waits - downtown train (2023 remaster) lyrics

[verse 1]
outside another yellow moon
has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
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

[verse 2]
you wave your hand and they scatter like crows
they have nothing that will ever capture your heart
they’re just th+rns without the rose
be careful of them in the dark
oh, if i was the one you chose to be your only onе
oh, baby, can’t you hear me now?
can’t you hear mе now?

[chorus]
will i see you tonight
on a downtown train?
every night it’s just the same
you leave me lonely now

[verse 3]
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 ’em as they fall
oh, baby, 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?
every night, every night is just the same
oh, baby
will i see you tonight
on a downtown train?
all of my dreams just fall like rain
oh, baby, on a downtown train

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
will i see you tonight
on a downtown train?
every night, every night is just the same
oh, baby
will i see you tonight
on a downtown train?
all of my dreams just fall like rain
oh, on a downtown train
oh, on a downtown train
oh, on a downtown train
oh, on a downtown train
downtown train
[outro]
on a downtown train
