The first song from a novel in songs 'Wild Blown Hair'. The music for this song is available here.

Running through the railway station
Your backpack full and white
Searching wildly all the faces
The love-light flushed your eye

I once knew you on a train
Where you had met your secret lover
You never showed that you had known me
Down the years
You couldn't speak my name

Hair blown wild in the wind
Spilling from your rucksack
Dreams and rainbow memories
Never saw me standing there
Never saw me turn
Your eyes were for your lover

Flying high across the meadow
Low across the trees
Never resting
Putting down
Arm upraised
A warrior queen

When your burning songs are written down
Your scalded heart is still afire
Singing of your hidden love
Buried in your deep desires
