[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
Isn't everybody dreaming?
Then the voice I hear is real
Out of all the idle scheming
Can't we have something to feel?
[Verse 3]
"Once upon a time" leaves me empty
Tomorrow never came
I could sing the sound of your laughter
Still, I don't know your name
[Chorus 3]
Must be some way to repay you
Out of all the good you gave
If a rumor should delay you
Love seems so little to say
