In A Station Lyrics
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
Someone called your name
In the streets I heard children laughing
They all sound the same
Know the reason why I live?
Is there nothing you can show me
Life seems so little to give
And ate the wild fruit there
Fell asleep until the moonlight woke me
And I could taste your hair
Then the voice I hear is real
Out of all the idle scheming
Can't we have something to feel?
Tomorrow never comes
I could sing the sound of your laughter
Still I don't know your name
Out of all the good you gave
If a rumour should delay you
Love seems so little to say

From Levon Helm's autobiography, "This Wheel's On Fire": "In A Station" is Richard's song about Overlook Mountain and the relative peace we were all feeling after those long years living on the road. He used to laugh and call it his George Harrison song, by which he meant it was spiritual.
