About three and a half years ago 

I found a girl weeping bitterly 

Alone in a station waiting room 

At first out of respect I ignored her 

But her tears seduced me as they fell 

I quietly enquired of her distress 

At first she did not answer and I walked away 

She spoke as I opened the door towards the platform

It appeared that she had been due to elope 

But her love had abandoned her without cause 

I asked her if I might be of comfort or assistance 

She asked me where I was going and the purpose 

I was visiting a church in the county of Somerset 

As I rather liked old churches and their interiors 

The girl smiled thinly and asked if she might travel 

As the peace of rural churches also promoted her happiness 

We are still travelling together and are nearing marriage
