My Opening Farewell

My love stands before the open window
 Staring so far away
 He can almost feel the southern wind blow
 Almost touching my restless days
 He turns from the window to me
 Sad smile his apology
 Sad eyes reaching for the door
 Daylight loses to another evening
 And still he spares me the word goodbye
 He sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
 He struggles to speak but in the end I only cry
 Suddenly it's so hard to find
 The words that would help me speak my troubled mind
 He's offering these to me as if to be kind:
 There is a train everyday leaving either way
 There is a train everyday leaving either way
 There is a world, you know
 And there is a way to go
 And we'll soon be gone, it's just as well
 This is my opening farewell
 A child's drawing is on the table
 A woman's silk lying on the floor
 And he would keep me here if I were able
 And lock us safe behind this open door
 But suddenly it's so clear to me
 I've asked him to see what he may never see
 Now his kind words find their way back to me
 There is a train everyday leaving either way
 There is a world, you know
 And there is a way to go
 And we'll soon be gone, it's just as well
 This is my opening farewell
