   My Love stands before an open window,      staring so   far away.

A          B                Dadd9    A          D       Asus4        Dadd9          A
   She can   almost feel the southern wind blow,  almost touching her restless day.

E                     Asus       A   Asus   Cm                E
   She turns from her window to me,    sad smile her apology

E                        Asus
Sad eyes reaching to the door.

A             B       Dadd9     A                 D       Asus4  B        Dadd9
  Daylight loses to another evening, and still she spares me the word goodbye.

A          B                Dadd9         A          D       Asus4        Dadd9          A
she sits alone beside me fighting her feelings, struggles to speak but in the end can only cry.

E                   Asus   A    Asus              Cm                E
   Suddenly it's so hard to find The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind

  Asus          E            Asus       E
So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind

          A           Asus4                A
There's a train every day,  leaving either way

          A           Asus4                A
There's a train every day,  leaving either way

          B              Dadd9  A          Em          A
There's a world you know,        there's a way to go

    Asus           E          C#      F#m   E
And you'll soon be gone, it's just as well

Asus
    This is my opening farewell

  A child's drawing     is on the table, a woman's silk        lying on the floor

A          B                Dadd9    A          D       Asus4        Dadd9          A
I would keep them here if I were able to lock her safe behind this open door
