Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958) is an American folk and country music singer, songwriter and musician. Carpenter spent several years singing in Washington, D.C. clubs before signing in the late 1980s with Columbia Records, who marketed her as a country singer. Carpenter's first album, 1987's Hometown Girl, did not produce any singles, although 1989's State of the Heart and 1990's Shooting Straight in the Dark each produced four Top 20 hits on the Billboard country singles charts. more »

Outside another yellow moon 
Has punched a hole in the nighttime 
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 world

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows 
They have nothing that will never capture your heart 
They're just thorns without the rose 
Oh, be careful of them in the dark

And if I was the one 
You chose to be your only one 
Oh, baby, now, can't you hear me now?

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 
Where every night is 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 
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, 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 
Where every night, every night is just the same?
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 
Where every night, every night is just the same
All upon a downtown train?

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 
Where every night, every night is just the same?
You leave me lonely 
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 
Where all my dreams just fall like the rain
All upon a downtown train?
