I wave goodbye to her down at the station
With all her friends and family gathered there
Her mother said she’ll keep the home fires burning
Because leaving home is such a sad affair

As we watch the train pull slowly from the station
Till it was swallowed up in the haze
We just stood there staring in the silence
She already seemed another world away

Now I'm standing on the platform of the Collingullie Station
Knowing that my dreaming days are through
Seems I lost my heart down at the Collingullie Station
As she disappeared from view

I recall the time that we had spent together
Walking down beside Old Man Creek
And I wondered why it was I never told her
Of the love that burned inside of me

Now I'm standing on the platform of the Collingullie Station
Knowing that my dreaming days are through
Seems I lost my heart down at the Collingullie Station
As she disappeared from view

Oh I'm standing on the platform of the Collingullie Station
Knowing that my dreaming days are through
Seems I lost my heart down at the Collingullie Station
As she disappeared from view
