D
In the dawn's early light
G D
From a long and a sleepless night
Em
She returned again this morning
C A
From her long and restless flight
D
And my red hollow eyes
G D
Did not show her much surprise
Em
As she lay right down beside me
C A
Like she never said goodbye
Chorus
D D7
Please help me, station master
G G7
Is the evening train on time?
A A7
The well's run dry up yonder
G C D
There's another down the line

Verse 2
D
It was all I could bear
G D
Just to watch her lying there
Em
Disowned and ragged princess
C A
With the sun locked in her hair
D
So cold, so frail
G D
With her mind locked in a jail
Em
The victim of confusion
C A
Never knowing she could fail
Chorus
D D7
Please help me, station master
G G7
Is the evening train on time?
A A7
The well's run dry up yonder
G C D
There's another down the line

Verse 3
D
So I rocked her to sleep
G D
Then I got up on my feet
Em
And the day was filled with sunshine
C A
As I gazed across the street
D
And the door seemed to say
G D
Over here, step this way
Em
The station is for travelers
C A
Even you must ride someday
Chorus
D D7
Please help me, station master
G G7
Is the evening train on time?
A A7
The well's run dry up yonder
G C D
There's another down the line
D D7
Please help me, station master
G G7
Can I stay for just a while?
A A7
Forgive me if I'm weary
G F D
I ain't had much, much time to smile
