Station Master Lyrics

In the dawn's early light

From a long and a sleepless night

She returned again this morning

From her long and restless flight

And my red hollow eyes

Did not show her much surprise

As she lay right down beside me

Like she never said goodbye

Please help me station master

Is the evening train on time?

The well's run dry up yonder

There's another down the line

It was all I could bear

Just to watch her lying there

Disowned and ragged princess

With the sun locked in her hair

So cold, so frail

With her mind locked in a jail

The victim of confusion

Never knowing she could fail

Please help me station master

Is the evening train on time?

The well's run dry up yonder

There's another down the line

So I rocked her to sleep

Then I got up on my feet

And the day was filled with sunshine

As I gazed across the street

And the door seemed to say

Over here, step this way

The station is for travelers

Even you must ride someday

Please help me station master

Is the evening train on time?

The well's run dry up yonder

There's another down the line

Please help me station master

Can I stay for just a while?

Forgive me if I'm weary

I ain't had much, much time to smile
