Baby stands before an open window |
|
Looking so far away |
|
He can almost feel southern winds blow |
|
Gently touching his restless day |
|
He turns from his window to me |
|
Sad smile, his apology |
|
Sad eyes reaching to the door |
|
Daylight loses to another evening |
|
And still he spares me the words ' |
|
Goodbye'Sits alone beside me, fighting his feelings |
|
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry |
|
Suddenly it's so hard to find |
|
The sound of the words |
|
To speak his troubled mind |
|
So I'm offering ease to him as if to be kind |
|
There's a train every day leading either way |
|
There's a world you know, there's a way to go |
|
You'll soon be gone, it's just as well |
|
This is my opening farewell |
|
A child's drawing's left there on the table |
|
And a woman's silk is lying on the floor |
|
I would keep them here if |
|
I were able |
|
To lock you safe behind it's open door |
|
Suddenly it's so clear to me |
|
That I'd ask you to see |
|
What you may never see |
|
Now my kind words find their way back to me |
|
There's a train every day leaving either way |
|
There's world you know, got a way to go |
|
I'll soon be gone, it's just as well |
|
This is my opening farewell, this is my opening farewell |
