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
