Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb
Baby stands before that open window looking so far away
Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb Bb
He can almost feel the southern winds blow
Eb/Bb Bb Eb Bb
Gently touching his restless day
Fsus F7 Eb Bb
He turns from his window to me
Eb Dm F7sus Eb
Sad smile his apology sad eyes reaching to the door
Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb C/Bb
Eb/Bb
Daylight loses to another evening and still he spares me the word
goodbye
Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb Bb
He sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry
Fsus F7 Eb Bb
Suddenly it's so hard to find
Eb Dm F7sus
The sound of the words to speak his troubled mind
Eb Dm Fsus
So I'm offering these to him as if to be kind
Bb Eb F Bb
There's a train every day leaving either way
C/Bb Eb/Bb Bb C
There's a world you know there's a way to go and
Eb F7 Gm Eb Bb
You'll soon be gone it's just as well this is my opening farewell
Bb C/Bb Eb Bb Eb/Bb Bb C/Bb
Eb/Bb
A child's drawings left on the table and a woman's silk lying on the
floor
Bb C/Bb Eb Bb
I would keep them here if I were able
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
To lock you safe behind this open door
F7sus Eb Bb
But suddenly it's so clear to me
Eb Dm F7sus
That I asked you to see what you may never see
Eb Dm F7sus
And now my kind words find their way back to me
Bb Eb F Bb
There's a train every day leaving either way
C/Bb Eb/Bb Bb C
There's a world you know got a way to go and
Eb F7 Gm Eb Bb
You'll soon be gone it's just as well this is my opening farewell
