In A Station
Composer(s): Richard Manuel
Performer(s): The Band; Karen Dalton; Olivia Newton-John



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
