A Railway Station 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 Well, 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 Well, all that night All that night The snow came down He stared into the night He had no expectations But in his heart he wanted to believe That somehow someone would be waiting there On this Christmas Eve When his train had moved 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 Well, all that night All that night The snow came down © transcript Emily Beynon
