Once I walked through the halls of a station

Someone called your name

In the streets 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 they used me indeed

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 say
