railway station
 On a long forgotten line
 No destination 
 But it always leaves on time

 He buys his ticket
 As the train prepares to leave
 Don't want to miss it
 On this night Christmas Eve

 He stared into the night no expectations
 He watched the world go by without a sound
 He saw the city lights arrive and fade away
 While all that night
 All that night 
 The snow came down

 No conversation
 As the snow fell from the sky
 His consolation 
 That the world is well disguised

 He stared into the night no expectations
 He watched the world go by without a sound
 He saw the city lights arrive and fade away
 While all that night
 All that night 
 The snow came down

 He stared into the night, no expectations
 But in his heart he wanted to believe
 That somehow someone would be waiting there
 Upon this Christmas Eve

 And when his train it pulled into that station
 He saw there was a single pair of tracks 
 Within the snow and leading to that 
 Station door
 And he followed those steps back

 And on this night of our salvation
 Where dreams that have been lost 
 Can there be found
 They walked away together 
 On that Christmas Eve
 While all that night 
 All that night
 The snow came down

 In this last season of the year
 This season that we [bad word]  It's not only important to know for whom we wait
 But to know who waits for us 

 And as they walked home together
 To the light of Christmas trees
 They could not help but wonder
 About how this night came to be 

 While back inside the attic
 The girl saw them walking through the snow 
 And she smiled with a child's delight
 Thinking how they would never know 

 And suddenly she realized 
 Beneath this night of stars
 Sometimes Christmas uses its own hands
 And sometimes it uses ours
