Lyrics for Song: My Opening Farewell
Lyrics for Album: The Essentials [WEA International] [2005]
Opening Farewell
Baby stands before an open window
Looking so far away
He can almost feel the southern winds blow
Gently touching his restless day
He turns from his window to me
Sad smile his apology,
Sad eyes reaching to the door
Daylight loses to another evening
And still he spares me the word "Goodbye"
Gits alone beside me fighting his feelings
Struggles to speak, but in the end can only cry
Suddenly, it's so hard to find
The sound of the words to speak his troubled mind
So I'm offering these to him as if to be kind
There's a train every day
Leaving either way
There's a world you know
There's a way to go
You'll soon be gone, it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
A child's drawing is left there on the table
And a woman's silk is lying on the floor
I would keep them here if I were able
To lock you safe behind this open door
Suddenly its so clear to me
That I've asked you to see what you may never see
Now my kind words find their way back to me
There's a train every day
Leaving either way
There's a world you know
I've got a way to go
I'll soon be gone, it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
This is my opening farewell
