Pipitea Point Station (1874-1880) and Lambton Station (1880-1937) were successive names for the main Wellington Railway Station in Wellington, New Zealand before the opening of the current Wellington Railway Station in 1937.
The new station also replaced the Thorndon Railway Station built by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company (WMR) but owned by the New Zealand Railways (NZR) since 1908.
The first station, Pipitea Point Station, was opened (1874) with the opening of the Hutt Valley Line. The railway line from Wellington to Lower Hutt, the first railway line in Wellington, was started in 1872 and opened in 1874.
Lambton Railway Station (opened 1880) was north of the present Wellington Railway Station; and Pipitea Point Railway Station was further north, but south of Thorndon Railway Station. All are within the present rail yard area.
I woke up one morning heard a robin's song.
I asked that robin "Why do you sing?"
"It was a voice whose rhymes are worlds
That made my song for me
How could I not sing?"
I woke up on morning heard a robins song
I asked that robin "Who made your throat?"
"That same hand that flies a million dawns
Made my tiny throat and wrote my songs
How could I not sing?"
I built an arbor and I asked the vine
"How come you grow so tall?"
"If I can make it above the wall
That same hand that holds out hope for all
Will gild me in the morning sky
And though I cannot sing
That hand a gentle wind will bring
And make a rustling lullaby
For milky sleeping babes
How could I not grow?"
I woke up one morning and I asked the sky
"How can you bear such emptiness?"
"For that bright eye that looks out and smiles
And makes my night her day
What would I not bear?"
I woke up one morning and I heard her voice
She called me by my name
What would I not give
To be called her child
What would I not give
To be called her friend
I'm gonna wake up one morning I'm gonna see her face
Smiling down on me
That robin's song and that morning sky
Are all the hope I need
I don't know how and I don't know why
But I'm gonna wake up one morning and I'll see her face
Smiling Down on me
I'm gonna wake up one morning
I'm gonna wake up one morning
