...DOWNTOWN TRAIN... by Tom Waits --------------------............. *from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)* *CAPO 1st FRET* (Original Key: ) Intro: , (x2) Verse 1: Outside, a-nother yellow moon, Has punched a hole in the night-time, yes. I climb through the window and down to the street, I'm shining like a new dime. Bridge 1: The downtown trains are full, With all of those Brooklyn girls. They try so hard to break out of their little worlds. Verse 2: 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. Bridge 2: Oh, if I was the one, You chose to be your only one. Oh baby, can't you hear me now? Can't you hear me now? Chorus 1: Will I see you to-night, 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. Bridge 3: You watch them as they fall, Oh baby, they all have heart-attacks. They stay at the carnival but they'll never win you back. Chorus 2: Will I see you to-night, On a downtown train? Where every night, every night, it's just the same. Oh baby... Will I see you to-night, On a downtown train? All of my dreams, they fall like rain, Oh baby, on a downtown train. Interlude: , , , (x2) Chorus 3: Will I see you, To-night, On a downtown train? Where every night, every night, it's just the same. Oh baby... Will I see you to-night, On a downtown train? All of my dreams, they fall like rain, Oh baby, on a downtown train. Coda: All on a downtown train, All on a downtown train. All on a downtown train, A downtown train.
