My Opening Farewell

Lyrics
The lady stands before an open window Staring so far away She can almost feel the southern wind blow Almost touching her restless day She turns from her window to me Sad smile her apology Sad eyes reaching to the door Daylight loses to another evening And still she spares me the word goodbye And sits alone beside me fighting her feelings Struggles to speak, but in the end can only cry Suddenly it's so hard to find The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind There's a train every day Leaving either way There's a world you know There's a way to go And you'll soon be gone That's just as well This is my opening farewell A child's drawing's left there on the table And a woman's silk lying on the floor Well I would keep them here if I were able To lock her safe behind this open door But suddenly, it's so clear to me That I'd asked her to see what she may never see And now my kind words find their way back to me There's a train every day Leaving either way There's a world you know You got a way to go And I'll soon believe It's just as well This is my opening farewell I'll soon believe It's just as well This is my opening farewell Farewell
