In A Station

(album: If Not For You - 1971)

Once I walked through the halls of a station
Someone called your name
In the street I heard children laughing
They all sound the same

One day could you ever know me
Know the reason why I live
Is there nothin you can show me
Life seems so little to give

Once I climbed up the face of a mountain
And ate the wild fruit there
Fell asleep until the moonlight woke me
And I could taste your hair

Isn't everybody dreaming
And the voice I hear is real
Out of all the idle scheming
Can't we have something to feel

Once upon a time leaves me empty
Tomorrow never came
I could sing the sound of your laughter
Still I don't know you name

Must be some way to repay you
Out of all the good you gave
If a rumor should delay you
Love seems so little to save
