My Opening Farewell Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 A lady stands before an open window

2 Looking so far away

3 She can almost feel the southern winds blow

4 Gently touching his restless day

5 He turns from his window to me

6 Sad smile his apology

7 Sad eyes reaching to the door

8 Daylight loses to another evening

9 Still he spares me words goodbye

10 Sits alone beside me fighting his feelings

11 Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry

12 Suddenly it's so hard to find

13 The sound of the words to speak his troubled mind

14 So I'm offering ease to him as if to be kind

15 There's a train every day

16 Leading either way

17 There's a world you know

18 There's a way to go

19 I soon believe it's just as well

20 This is my opening farewell

21 A child's drawings left there on the table

22 And a woman's silk is lying on the floor

23 I would keep them here if I were able

24 To lock you safe behind it's open door

25 Suddenly it's so clear to me

26 That I'd ask you to see what you may never see

27 Now my kind words find their way back to me

28 There's a train every day

29 Leading either way

30 There's world you know

31 Got a way to go

32 I soon believe it's just as well

33 This is my opening farewell

34 This is my opening farewell.
