In the dawn's early light from a long and sleepless night

She returned again this morning from her long and restless flight



And her red hollow eyes did not show her much surprise

As she lay right down beside me like she never said goodbye



Please help me stationmaster, is the evening train on time

The wells 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

A victim of confusion, never knowing she could fail



Please help me stationmaster, is the evening train on time

The wells run dry up yonder there's another down the line



So I rocked her to sleep and 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 stationmaster, is the evening train on time

The wells run dry up yonder there's another down the line



Please help be stationmaster, can I stay for just awhile

Forgive me if I'm weary I ain't have much - much time to smile
