Downtown Train (2023 Remaster) Tom Waits

[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 thorns 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
