Mary Chapin Carpenter - Downtown Train [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the night time
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The down-town 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 ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Oh, be careful of them in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
And if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Oh baby now, can't you hear me now

[Chorus]
Will I see you tonight on a down-town train
Where every night is just the same
You leave me lonely now

[Verse 2]
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
Ooh, and they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back

[Chorus][x4]
