D5 E5 G5 D5 G5 D5 E5 G5
A lady stands before an open window, staring so far away.
D5 E5 G5 D5 G5 D5 G5 D5
She can almost feel the southern wind blow, almost touching her restless day.
A5 A5 G5 D5 G5 F#5 A5
She turns from her window to me, sad smile her apology
G5
Sad eyes reaching to the door.
Daylight loses to another evening,
and still she spares me the word goodbye.
she sits alone beside me fighting her feelings,
struggles to speak but in the end can only cry.
Bridge 1:
A5 A5 G5 D5
Suddenly it's so hard to find
G5 A5 A5
The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind
G5 F#5 A5
So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind
D5 G5 A5 D5
There's a train every day, leaving either way
E5 G5 D5 C5
There's a world you know, there's a way to go
G5 A5 B5 B5
And you'll soon be gone, it's just as well
G5 D5
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
Repeat intro
