about

When I was a little girl I spent lots of time in a tiny South Island lake village called Kingston.
Filled with heritage and a beautiful old steam train, I spent hours playing along the tracks with my brothers and my best friend Terzann. Although the train no longer runs, making that ride to Fairlight Station will remain one of my most magical memories.

lyrics

Fairlight Station
A. van Riel

Climb aboard, this train’s departing soon
Destination bright side of the moon
Say goodbye to worries of the day
Close your eyes and let them drift away

We’re off to Fairlight Station
Fairlight Station
We’re off to Fairlight Station
Ooooh, so baby close your eyes

There’s a light that dapples through the trees
Across the fields and spinning autumn leaves
Hear the wheels go whizzing down the track
In the morning we’ll be heading back

For now it’s Fairlight Station
Fairlight Station
We’re off to Fairlight Station
Ooooh, so baby close your eyes

We all know dreams are free
My baby child you are a dream to me
With weary head, lay down and close your eyes
And I’ll count the moments till we both arrive

A tiny platform stands alone
And a staircase of stars to guide you home
Back home to dreamland and fields of gold
May you never grow weary, never grow old.

Fairlight station
Fairlight Station
We’re off to Fairlight Station
Ooooh, so baby close your eyes
