I think the starship comment is a bit wacky. the song must be in part about going away, perhaps off to war (1939), or anywhere ... doubtful he was referring to a spaceship. May is an astronomer but, I still don't agree with it. |

| Tom Waits – Downtown Train Lyrics
| 22 years ago

|
this is a real gut-wrenching song to me, though other hardcore Waits fans may dismiss it for its pop appeal. I like the interpretation given to the same song but Rod Stewart's cover. anyway, to me, it's about a lonely man who is in love with a girl that just does not give him the time of day. he goes a bit mad -- he does not know what to do with himself but to walk around the lonely streets, singing, and waiting, for one day, for her to appear before him. of course, she never does, and he continues to wait, for the downtown train. |
