Sunset Evening Star -

Sunset and evening star one clear call for me

Let there be no grieving when I said to leave

The girl I left behind me

Said she’d wait for me

Sunset by the station

Below the old oak tree

The train will take me eastward on a cold and windy line

To a place where snow and ice cuts your face an dulls the mind

The girl I left behind me

Said she’d wait for me

Sunset by the station below the old oak tree

I wake at dawn each morning and feel so far away

The rain is slowly falling on the window pane

The girl I left behind me

Said she’d wait for me

Sunset by the station by the old oak tree

Seven years have passed now I’ve travelled far and wide

From the snowy mountains westward

To the great divide

I wonder if she’s waiting by the old oak tree

Standing at the station looking out for me

I’ll get a train back westwards on a bright and sunny day

To the place that she has waited since I went away

The girl I left behind said she’d wait for me

Sunset by the station by the old oak tree

Sunset and evening star one clear call for me

Let there be no grieving when I said to leave

The girl I left behind me

Said she’d wait for me

Sunset by the station

Below the old oak tree

The train that I took eastward

On the cold and windy line

Now takes me west and homeward

To that little girl of mine

The girl I left behind me

Is waiting there for me

Sunset by the station
