Sunset and evening star one clear call for me
Let there be no grieving when I said to leave
The girl I left behind me
Said she'd wait for me
Sunset by the station
Below the old oak tree

The train will take me eastward on a cold and windy line
To a place where snow and ice cuts your face an dulls the mind
The girl I left behind me
Said she'd wait for me
Sunset by the station below the old oak tree

I wake at dawn each morning and feel so far away
The rain is slowly falling on the window pane
The girl I left behind me
Said she'd wait for me
Sunset by the station by the old oak tree

Seven years have passed now I've travelled far and wide
From the snowy mountains westward
To the great divide
I wonder if she's waiting by the old oak tree
Standing at the station looking out for me

I'll get a train back westwards on a bright and sunny day
To the place that she has waited since I went away
The girl I left behind said she'd wait for me
Sunset by the station by the old oak tree

Sunset and evening star one clear call for me
Let there be no grieving when I said to leave
The girl I left behind me
Said she'd wait for me
Sunset by the station
Below the old oak tree

The train that I took eastward
On the cold and windy line
Now takes me west and homeward
To that little girl of mine
The girl I left behind me
Is waiting there for me
Sunset by the station
