My Opening Farewell |
| A lady stands before an open window |
| Staring so far away |
| She can almost feel the southern wind blow |
| Almost touching her restless day |
| She turns from her window to me Sad smile her apology |
| Sad eyes reaching to the door |
| Daylight loses to another evening |
| And still she spares me the word goodbye |
| And sits alone beside me fighting her 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 her troubled mind |
| So I’m offering these to her as if to be kind: |
| There’s a train everyday leaving either way |
| There’s a world, you know |
| There’s a way to go And you’ll soon be gone -- that’s just as well |
| This is my opening farewell |
| A child’s drawings left there on the table |
| And a woman’s silk lying on the floor |
| And I would keep them here if I were able |
| Lock her safe behind this open door |
| But suddenly it’s so clear to me That I’d asked her to see what she may never see |
| And now my kind words find their way back to me There’s a train everyday leaving either way |
| There’s a world, you know |
| You got a way’s to go And I’ll soon believe -- it’s just as well |
| This is my opening farewell |
