[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
