[Verse]
D      Em/D             D
A lady stands before an open window

D              Em/D
Staring so far away

D              Em/D                  D
She can almost feel the southern wind blow

G      D            Em/D
Almost touching her restless day
[Verse]
F#m                G      D
She turns from her window to me

G   F#m          A
Sad smile her apology

A                 D      G
Sad eyes reaching to the door
G D E D [Verse]
D        Em/D               D
Daylight loses to another evening

G              D            Em/D   D
And still she spares me the word, "Good  bye"

D              Em/D                   D
And sits alone beside me fighting her feelings

G            D                 G            D
Struggles to speak, but in the end can only cry
[Chorus]
A7          G               D
   Suddenly it's so hard to find

G                F#m                 A7
The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind

G                F#m     A7
So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind

D                     Em/D                   D
There's a train every day   leaving either way

D                    Em/D
There's a world, you know

D                D   Dsus2
There's a way to go

Gm                 A                    Bm     A
And you'll soon be gone, that's just as well

G                      D
This is my opening farewell
G A Bm A G D Em/D D Em/D [Verse]
D                             Em/D   D
A child's drawings left there on the table

Em/D                             G
And a woman's silk lying on  the floor

D           Em/D                     D
And I would keep them here if I were able

D                        Em/D      D
And lock her safe behind this open door
[Outro]
A7    G                      D
  But suddenly it's so clear to me

G              F#m                     A
That I'd asked her to see what she may never see

G          F#m         A7
And now my kind words find their way back to me

D               Em/D        D       Em/D   D
There's a train every day   leaving either way

D                    Em/D
There's a world, you know

D                D   Dsus2
There's a way to go

G                  A              Bm     A
I'll soon be gone, that's just as well

G                   D    C G
This is my opening farewel l
