Everything But The Girl - Downtown Train Lyrics






Outside another yellow moon
punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
(I) climb through your window and down the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that can 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 baby can't you hear me, can't 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 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, 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, it's just the same,
you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All of my tears just fall like rain, all upon the downtown train

    Pros meus amigos Brasileiros


    Lá fora tem outra lua amarela
    Esburacando a noite, sim
    Eu saio pela janela e desço pra rua
    Brilhando como uma moeda nova
    Os trens do centro estão lotados de garotas do Brooklyn
    Elas estão sempre tentando fugir de seus mundinhos
    Você acena com a mão e elas voam como corvos
    Elas não têm nada que possa capturar seu coração
    Elas são apenas espinhos sem rosa
    Tenha cuidado com elas na escuridão
    Ah, se eu fosse o escolhido
    Você escolheu não ter mais ninguém
    Ah, meu bem, você consegue me ouvir?
    Você consegue me ouvir?
    Será que vou te ver hoje à noite
    Num trem do centro?
    Toda noite é a mesma coisa
    Você me deixa só, e agora
    Sei qual é a sua janela e sei que está tarde
    Conheço suas escadas e sua porta
    Ando pela sua rua e passo pelo seu portão
    Paro sob a luz da rua na esquina
    Você os observa enquanto eles caem
    Todos eles com enfartes
    Eles ficam nas feiras de rua
    Mas nunca te ganharão de volta
    Será que vou te ver hoje à noite
    Num trem do centro?
    Toda noite, toda noite é a mesma coisa
    Ah, meu bem
    Será que vou te ver hoje à noite
    Num trem do centro?
    Todos os meus sonhos caem como chuva
    Ah, meu bem, sobre um trem do centro
    Será que vou te ver hoje à noite
    Num trem do centro?
    Toda noite, toda noite é a mesma coisa
    Ah, meu bem
    Será que vou te ver hoje à noite
    Num trem do centro?
    Todos os meus sonhos caem como chuva
    Sobre um trem do centro
    Sobre um trem do centro
    Sobre um trem do centro
    Sobre um trem do centro

    I watched How I met your mother again, I really wished they showed more of Tracy. I really wanted an entire season about/with her but then again the ending kind of just says it all. Someday I will show this to my kids 😉

  13. J.... M....

    Perfect ending in the sense that it shows that life is never perfect.

  14. J.... ....

    I'm glad that ted ended up with Robin. Because ted was so in love with Robin he stole the blue french horn just cuz she said she liked it. It was love at first sight for ted. And throughout the years as it passed ted was still in love with Robin. He just couldn't admit it anymore because of Barney. Like he said all the pain he had to go through in his lifetime and times that million was how it felt when he got the text that Barney and Robin are engaged. But he also found his beautiful wife Tracy and had two kids with her. But at the end ted and Robin ended up together cuz it's what the universe wanted.

    Tracy McConnell 😭

  30. s.... a....

    I know it's kind of a sad ending for Barney, but I know he'll find someone special in future. Many people think it's sad that Ted went back to Robin, that he still had feelings for Robin and didn't love Tracy. Let me tell you something, Ted is the most romantic guy I have seen in television history. He loved Tracy a lot and when she died it was heartbreaking for him as it was for us. You know when people lose love of their life, they reminisce those moments to make them feel better but that can only do for so long. What kids saw was that, and they knew he had to move on because it was really depressing for them too, to see him like that. So that was their way of saying to him that they are okay with him moving on with his life with someone and that someone was Robin. It's been more than six years since the mother died. There's a clip online, a lunch scene with Robin and Ted, it's I believe after Barney and Robin had their divorce and Tracy was still alive. It was a heartbreaking scene too. It showed that Robin wanted to be with Ted once she's settled and it was not just Ted wanting to be with Robin after many years when kids gave him the push to get her.
    The link to that lunch scene is below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS0xaSTvPQw

  31. A.... M....

    It all ended 5 years ago on this day. Still my favorite show after all these time ♥️

  32. S.... ....

    I need to rewatch this show. It was one of my first sitcoms, and it's so nostalgic.

  33. a.... a....

    Just a thought: I think the reason that the mother was introduced so late in the series and had so little screentime, is because the writers want us to feel how Ted felt.


    We longed to see the mother (or for Ted, the one), and we followed through his journey of searching for years, and it was long for us and Ted. Then comes the mother, got us all to love her so much, just how much Ted loved her the moment they met at the train station.


    And as happy as we are (and Ted) for meeting the mother, it all ended so suddenly (for Ted, it's 11 short years) with her getting sick. I think that was the plot. Ted felt it was too short, that why he said " I have to love this woman as much as I can for as long as I can, and I can never stop loving her, not even for a second." And we felt that.

  34. m.... t....

    This show is everything😍💚

  35. s.... ....

    What people seem to forget is that Ted and Tracy got 11 years together. Sure, it’s no lifetime. But it was significant. HIMYM was always good at tackling real life issues. Marshall’s Dad passing away still makes me cry. Every single time. Tracy dies too young but that is life, unfortunately. I commend the writers for giving the ending they wanted to give. It was beautiful in spite of its unexpectedness. People ought to learn that they are not entitled to the ending they think they should have been given.

  36. E.... L....

    Al margen del final de HIMYM y la connotación y significado q ha tomado de un tiempo a esta parte en mi vida, es hermosa la versión esta. Perdí la cuenta de cuántas veces la escuché

  37. t.... t....

    This single song ignites relentless tides which seem seem to long for some shore far far away...

    dislike

  58. H.... ....

    I dunno, i cant listen to this unless it's the original. Can't beat Tom Waits, really. Just can't for me.
    Nobody's mentioned that yet, so i thought I would.

  59. J.... W....

    why am I crying in the club right now

  60. a.... ....

    that was the ugliest character they could cast

  61. w.... b....

    i Can't believe that there are actualy who dislike it 😏

  62. S.... J....

    The show was funny, exciting, real life like, there's nothing much sad but still it leaves you with wet eyes and utter silence you feel so sad at times and so attached to the show, it's unbelievable.

  63. C.... B....

    I’m glad they didn’t end it here. Would have been a bit sad, Ted moved on (maybe with Robin, maybe not we don’t know) and that’s how it should be.

  64. C.... H....

    Annoying that the guy didn't sing the whole song. That voice just fits perfect.

  65. p.... ....

    Who is the girl in the picture?

  66. R.... T....

    still listening to it everyday

  67. N.... P....

    I'm crying

  68. R.... R....

    How can a show make like this get you thinking so much and make you so sad

  69. G.... T....

    in 60 days, this will be my first dance song. Finally! :)

  70. B.... S....

    Deep down, Ted still thinks of Tracy

  71. E.... A....

    Linda versão deste clássico de Tom Waits

  72. d.... l....

    When you think your dead inside but this song prove you wrong

  73. A.... M....

    they made Tracy so likable and then kill her.. though i loved the original ending.. but killing her was a major blow

  74. S.... p....

    No one on this planet gets it except me.it was always robin.it was the perfect ending.it was all about the moment in the first season when ted fell in love with her.even victoria knew it,marshall knew it but most people dont.

  75. 2.... ....

    Yes, this song is wonderful. Maybe it's one of best of the show. But not for me. For me, no song could be best, if it would be the last...
    Let Your Heart Hold Fast,
    You Were Born,
    The Wind,
    and 500 Miles.
    These songs, yeah.. they make it!
    And now.. Let's watch the show again!

  76. M.... D....

    when it's dark..m sad.. no one's around.. i listen to dis song ❤❤

  77. C.... E....

    Great, new years eve and I'm crying.... love is out there, just believe in it

  78. M.... C....

    This show, especially the final two seasons, strike so many nerves. Everyone can relate to that feeling when life inevitably changes, that "in-limbo" period when it forces us to go from being an irresponsible kid to an adult--and that deep desire to resist it...wanting so much to go back and relive the great moments, but always knowing that we never can.

    Outside another yellow moon
    Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
    (I) climb through your window and down the street

    The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls
    They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
    You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
    They have nothing that can capture your heart
    They're just thorns without the rose

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

    Love HIMYM forever
    And this song too

  86. S.... V....

    Apart from how great a show HIMYM was - funny, nostalgic, comforting yet painfully realistic, I have to thank the show deeply for exposing me to such fantastic music.

  87. R.... P....

    Maybe it's not about getting to grow old with her; maybe it's about having the chance to love her so deeply in that short amount of time that that love will last forever. I'll consider myself lucky if I can have a love like that just for a day. Tracy was like a dream, brief but epic. Robin is reality. Eventually we have to go back to reality. But Robin is and always will be a second choice. An alternative. Despite the fact that life got in the way, Teddy and Tracy's love was pure and true and that's what the show is all about. Finding eternal love. Finding your yellow umbrella.

  88. C.... H....

  98. T.... N....

    "... It was at times a long, difficult road. But I'm glad it was long and difficult, because if I hadn't gone through hell to get there, the lesson might not have been as clear. You see, kids, right from the moment I met your mom, I knew... I have to love this woman as much as I can for as long as I can, and I can never stop loving her, not even for a second. I carried that lesson with me through every stupid fight we ever had, every 5:00 a.m. Christmas morning, every sleepy Sunday afternoon, through every speed bump. Every pang of jealousy or boredom or uncertainty that came our way, I carried that lesson with me. And I carried it with me when she got sick. Even then, in what can only be called the worst of times, all I could do was look at her and thank God, thank every god there is, or ever was, or will be, and the whole universe, and anyone else I can possibly thank that I saw that beautiful girl on that train platform, and that I had the guts to stand up, walk over to her, tap her on the shoulder, open my mouth, and speak..." - Ted Mosby

    T.... N....

    Tai Ngo Tears...

    T.... N....

    LOTUS nah HIMYM is cringey as FUCK. Friends felt way more natural and comfortable

    T.... N....

    I keep coming back and re-watching this show, It's been years but I've kinda been going through some Ted Mosby level hard luck personally and I just hold on to the possibility that things can work out for me too. This show was there for me years ago when things were a little better and a little brighter, and I look back and watch HIMYM when things aren't so bright anymore. Just waiting for destiny, waiting for my slutty pumpkin.

    T.... N....

    Overall the show was great.
    There was character development.
    There was happy, emotional, etc parts.

    But i really hated the ending. When i researched about thr ending. The ending was shot after Season 2 or 3 i guess. That means they had decided the ending before the whole script is completed.
    Yes, during Season 1-3 we audience also felt like to be Ted and Robin. But as the show progressed, Ted tried alot but it won't happen with Robin, so during the moment of Barney yo purpose Robin, Ted let go of Robin and Barney purposed Robin. Similarly, Ted also found Tracy.
    Everything was going great, but during last episode, they showed us like Barney and Robin didn't work and broke their marriage.
    On the other hand, they killed Tracy, just because they can stick to the ending they planned in Season 2 or 3, which was 6-7 years ago. Come on man, it doesn't work like that.
    So due to that fact, i thought about rewatching the show, but i didn't feel like watching.
