the snow came down lyrics

A railway station on a long forgotten line
No destination but it always leaves on time
He buys his tickets as the train prepares to leave
Don't want to miss it on this evening 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
