A railway station on a long forgotten line |
|
No destination but it always leaves on time |
|
He buys his tickets as the train prepares to leave |
|
Don't want to miss it on this evening |
|
Christmas eve |
|
He stared into the night, no expectations |
|
He watched the world go by without a sound |
|
He saw the city lights arrive and fade away |
|
While all that night, all that night the snow came down |
|
No conversation as the snow fell from the sky |
|
His consolation that the world is well disguised |
|
He stared into the night, no expectations |
|
He watched the world go by without a sound |
|
He saw the city lights arrive and fade away |
|
While all that night, all that night the snow came down |
|
He stared into the night, no expectations |
|
But in his heart he wanted to believe |
|
That somehow, someone would be waiting there |
|
Upon this |
|
Christmas eve |
|
And when his train, it pulled into that station |
|
He saw there was a single pair of tracks |
|
Within the snow and leading to that station door |
|
And he followed those steps back |
|
And on this night of our salvation |
|
Where dreams that have been lost can there be found |
|
They walked away together on that |
|
Christmas eve |
|
While all that night, all that night the snow came down |
