Baby   stands before that open window looking so far   away

Bb            C/Bb     Eb/Bb          Bb
He can almost feel the southern winds blow

Eb/Bb  Bb           Eb       Bb
Gently touching his restless day

Fsus F7            Eb        Bb
He turns from his window to me

Eb  Dm        F7sus                            Eb
Sad smile his apology sad eyes reaching to the door

Eb/Bb
Daylight loses to another evening and still  he spares me the word

Bb       C/Bb            Eb/Bb        Bb
He sits alone beside me fighting his feelings

Eb/Bb        Bb                        Eb/Bb Bb
Struggles to speak but  in the end can only  cry

Fsus  F7         Eb      Bb
Suddenly it's so hard to find

Eb               Dm                  F7sus
The sound of the words to speak his  troubled mind

Eb              Dm              Fsus
So I'm offering these to him as if to be kind

          Bb          Eb  F              Bb
There's a train every day leaving either way

          C/Bb         Eb/Bb   Bb               C
There's a world you know       there's a way to go and

Eb             F7                Gm     Eb                     Bb
You'll soon be gone it's just as well   this is my opening farewell

Eb/Bb
A child's drawings left on the table  and a woman's silk lying on the

Bb                C/Bb Eb        Bb
I would keep them here if I were able

Eb/Bb       Bb               Eb/Bb Bb
To lock you safe behind this open  door

F7sus                Eb       Bb
But suddenly it's so clear to me

Eb                  Dm               F7sus
That I asked you to see what you may never see

Eb                    Dm             F7sus
And now my kind words find their way back to me

          Bb          Eb  F              Bb
There's a train every day leaving either way

          C/Bb         Eb/Bb   Bb               C
There's a world you know       got a way to go and

Eb             F7                Gm     Eb                     Bb
You'll soon be gone it's just as well   this is my opening farewell
