I saw you in Central Station
Don’t know if you saw me watching you
Dark days had so obviously befallen you
You looked bad and I wished that I had spoke to you
When I saw you in Central Station
It’s some years though it seems like yesterday
We ran in the yard at Elmgrove
So proud as we stepped up to the starting line
They told us the future would be yours and mine
When we ran in the yard at Elmgrove
If it had’ve been him
He would have set you down and asked you where it all went wrong
If it had’ve been him he would have taken time and not
Just wrote some words in a foolish little song
But it was me and I don’t know perhaps I was a little scared
For I did not do anything, I did not say anything
I just stood and stared when I saw you in Central Station
Grace flows like a mighty river
And one day I just dipped my finger in
And a love caught and dragged me to a deeper place
I laughing and flailing like some water babe
When grace flowed like a mighty river
God grant that some day we’ll meet again and
He gives me the grace to talk with you
A soft word of the love that turns a life around
A kind hand that will lift you up to higher ground
God grant that some day we’ll meet again
