In A Station — The Band

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 Wonder, could you ever know me Know the reason why I live Is there nothing 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! Then 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 comes I could sing the sound of your laughter Still I don't know your name Must be some way to repay you Out of all the good you gave If a rumour should delay you Love seems so little to save
