[00:24.14]My love stands before the open window
[00:29.89]Staring so far away
[00:35.67]He can almost feel the southern wind blow
[00:42.00]Almost touching my restless days
[00:48.06]
[00:49.73]He turns from the window to me
[00:55.24]Sad smile his apology
[00:59.74]Sad eyes reaching for the door
[01:06.51]
[01:07.50]Daylight loses to another evening
[01:13.10]And still he spares me the word goodbye
[01:18.82]He sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
[01:24.97]He struggles to speak but in the end I only cry
[01:30.94]
[01:32.85]Suddenly it's so hard to find
[01:38.46]The words that would help me speak my troubled mind
[01:44.48]He's offering these to me as if to be kind:
[01:49.05]There is a train everyday leaving either way
[01:55.13]There is a train everyday leaving either way
[02:00.68]There is a world, you know
[02:05.37]And there is a way to go
[02:10.50]And we'll soon be gone -- it's just as well
[02:17.13]This is my opening farewell
[02:23.39]
[02:35.27]A child's drawing is on the table
[02:41.06]A woman's silk lying on the floor
[02:46.94]And he would keep me here if I were able
[02:52.99]And lock us safe behind this open door
[02:59.57]
[03:00.83]But suddenly it's so clear to me
[03:06.43]I've asked him to see what he may never see
[03:12.36]Now his kind words find their way back to me
[03:16.70]There is a train everyday leaving either way
[03:22.63]There is a world, you know
[03:27.43]And there is a way to go
[03:32.49]And we'll soon be gone -- it's just as well
[03:39.07]This is my opening farewell
[03:46.51]
