"Gospel Oak" lyrics

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

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

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

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
