downtown train

güzel bir tom waits parçasıdır. sözleri de tam olarak şöyledir;

outside another yellow moon
has punched a hole in the nighttime
yes i climb through the window and down to the street
ıt's 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
well, you wave your hand and they scatter like crows
they have nothing that will ever 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 yeah
can't you hear me now
cat 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 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
oh baby, they all have heartattacks
they stay at the carnival but they'll never win you back

will i see you tonight
on a downtown train
every night, every night its just the same
oh baby

will i see you tonight
on a downtown train
all of my dreams they fall like rain
oh baby, on a downtown train

will i see you tonight
on a downtown train
every night, every night its just the same
oh baby

will i see you tonight
oh, on a downtown train
all of my dreams just fall like rain
all on a downtown train (x4)
on a downtown train
downtown train
oh, baby
all on a downtown train
