[Music & Lyrics: Paul O'Neill, Robert Kinkel]
A 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 TRUST
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
