Gordon Lightfoot - Station Master Lyrics
In the dawns early light from a long and sleepless nightShe returned again this morning from her long and restless flightAnd her red hollow eyes did not show her much surpriseAs she lay right down beside me like she never said goodbyePlease help me stationmaster, is the evening train on timeThe wells run dry up yonder theres another down the lineIt was all I could bear just to watch her lying thereDisowned and ragged princess with the sun locked in her hairSo cold, so frail with her mind locked in a jailA victim of confusion, never knowing she could failPlease help me stationmaster, is the evening train on timeThe wells run dry up yonder theres another down the lineSo I rocked her to sleep and I got up on my feetAnd the day was filled with sunshine as I gazed across the streetAnd the door seemed to say over here step this wayThe station is for travelers even you must ride somedayPlease help me stationmaster, is the evening train on timeThe wells run dry up yonder theres another down the linePlease help be stationmaster, can I stay for just awhileForgive me if Im weary I aint have much - much time to smile
