Lyrics Downtown Train - Everything But the Girl

Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
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 hands 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

If I was the one
You chose to be your only one
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
Walk down your street and past your gate
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?
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
