Gospel Oak

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

Mm-mm-mm

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 climb over

Mm-mm-mm

On the 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

Mm-mm-mm

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 you won't

Mm-mm-mm
