I keep seeing her come to this station just sitting on the same seat, but never getting on the train. You know there’s been a lot of strange thing’s happening in this city. And she sure has been acting quite strange but I don’t care because she’s such an elegant lady. Old lady: “Sir...” mind the gap. Train station guard: May I help you? Old lady: Those were the first words my husband ever spoke to me. Train station guard: Would you like to sit down? Over here? Old lady: Thank you. It’s all right. You see… forty years ago my husband and I met in this station. We fell in love. We dated. We had a child. So wonderful father He had a beautiful voice. Unfortunately, the talent scouts did not discover him, add his voice to myself. Now this voice is with the city now, even though he's been gone for a few years Listen… Train station guard: that was your husband's voice that was on that recording before? Old lady: That’s right. They replaced him. I had no right to ask. But please, is it possible that I could get the tapes? you know the decades i've been here listening to your husband's voice Train station guard:…but actually there’s nothing I can do about it because today they just changed over the system. Old lady: It’s ok. I understand.Train station guard: I am so sorry. Since that day we spoke, I haven’t seen that woman return to this station. Of course, she has no reasons to come back. Time always has a way of making of things slip away till there’s nothing left. (Music: It was a Tuesday mornin’ in May, and as I awoke. I saw the sun against your fair face. It was the years, lovely smile, the breeze was fresh and throughout the garden lingered the sun to roses. It was May and I cannot forget that we sang together. The more time passes, the more I remember. The air was fresh and the sun so sweet…. it was May… it was May. Yes, I love of my heart… love of my heart.. You’re goin’ far away , you’re leavin’ me. And I will count the hours, when will you return? With nod I said, ’ I will return when the roses bloom again.’ And I said love of my heart, love of my heart…. You’re goin’ far away, you’re leavin’ me. And I will count the hours, when will you return? And you said, ‘I will return.’ When I share your voice again I will return as promised….when the roses bloom… Man: Thank you. Thank you very much! We will call you… by the way I’m just wondering if you could do me a favor? Just record the line for me. Just say, ‘Mind the gap.’ Musician: ‘Mind the gap.’ Man: Can you just say it two more times? Announcer: “Mind the gap…mind the gap….mind the gap.” Train station guard: Madam, we were able to get your husband’s recording and reinstalled not in all the city but at least this station. Here, his voice is our mutual memory. Old lady: Thank you. Train station guard: Are you going somewhere? Old lady: Well, Yes. I can go on from here now. I have my memories. Train station guard: Wonderful! May I give you a hand? Old lady: Oh, thank you! “ Mind the gap.”
