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
