A lady stands before an open 
           D     G/D*    D*  E/D 
window,  staring so  far away.
  G/D

        G/D       D
She can almost feel the southern 
wind blow,  almost touching her 
restless
day.
A7sus4  A7                      
G           D    G    F#m
A7sus4
         She turns from her window 
to me, sad smile her apology
Sad eyes reaching to the door.
  G


Daylight loses to another evening,
and still she spares me the word 
goodbye.
Continues after the ad
she sits alone beside me fighting 
her feelings,
struggles to speak but in the end 
can only cry.

Bridge 1:
A7sus4       A7           G       D
       Suddenly it's so hard to find
 G                       A        
The sound of the words to speak 
                             A7sus4
her troubled mind
 G                   F#m          
So I'm offering these to her as if
     A7sus4
 to be kind
               D*           G/D*   
There's a train every day,  leaving
A7*              D*
 either way
               E/D              
There's a world you know,        
   G/D  D                      C/D
there's a way to go
 G                         A7     
And you'll soon be gone, it's just
               Bm   Bm/A
 as well
G                               D
This is my opening farewell

Last verse:

A child's drawing left there on the 
table
and a woman's silk lying on the 
floor
I would keep them here if I were 
able
to lock her safe behind this open 
door

Bridge 2:

Suddenly it's so clear to me,
that I asked her to see what she may
 never see
And now my kind words find there way
 back to me
There's a train everyday, leaving 
either way
There's a world you know, You gotta 
ways to go
And I'll soon believe that it's just
 as well
This is my opening farewell
