| [00:29.35] |
A lady stands before an open window |
| [00:35.74] |
Staring so far away |
| [00:43.40] |
She can almost feel the southern wind blow |
| [00:50.01] |
Almost touching her restless day |
| [00:59.60] |
She turns from her window to me |
| [01:06.30] |
Sad smile her apology |
| [01:10.46] |
Sad eyes reaching to the door |
| [01:18.30] |
Daylight loses to another evening |
| [01:25.08] |
And still she spares me the word goodbye |
| [01:32.26] |
And sits alone beside me fighting her feelings |
| [01:39.04] |
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry |
| [01:48.82] |
Suddenly it's so hard to find |
| [01:54.67] |
The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind |
| [02:01.60] |
So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind |
| [02:07.49] |
There's a train everyday leaving either way |
| [02:14.42] |
There's a world, you know |
| [02:18.93] |
There's a way to go |
| [02:22.14] |
And you'll soon be gone, that's just as well |
| [02:29.32] |
This is my opening farewell |
| [02:53.65] |
A child's drawings left there on the table |
| [03:00.39] |
And a woman's silk lying on the floor |
| [03:07.82] |
And I would keep them here if I were able |
| [03:14.71] |
Lock her safe behind this open door |
| [03:23.71] |
But suddenly it's so clear to me |
| [03:30.09] |
That I'd asked her to see what she may never see |
| [03:36.77] |
And now my kind words find their way back to me |
| [03:42.85] |
There's a train everyday leaving either way |
| [03:49.92] |
There's a world, you know |
| [03:54.04] |
You got a way's to go |
| [03:57.61] |
And I'll soon believe, it's just as well |
| [04:04.61] |
This is my opening farewell |
