On a winged shoulder I leant
Opened the letter I wish you had sent
But the words turned to water
I couldn't dive under
Hmm-hmm-hmm

In a field I knew I had seen
Raced through the rushes to where you should be
But the hillside turned frozen
I couldn't come over
Hmm-hmm-hmm

On a platform I wait for your train
Can you hear me? I'm calling your name
But the wheels keep on turning
You don't see me waving
Hmm-hmm-hmm

In the crowd I reach for your hand
If you get lost then let's meet at the bandstand
In Gospel Oak
I'll get there but yon won't
Hmm-hmm-hmm
