Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb

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

Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb C/Bb

Eb/Bb

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

goodbye

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

Bb C/Bb Eb Bb Eb/Bb Bb C/Bb

Eb/Bb

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

floor

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
