D       E7/D             Em/D          D
 A lady stands before an open window
G/D      D    E7/D   Em/D
 Staring so   far away
D           E7/D                  Em/D       D
 She can almost feel the southern wind blow
G/D     D            Em/D      D
 Almost touching her restless day
 
[Bridge]
Bm/G    A              G            D
    She turns from her window to me
G       F#m              Asus4/2
    Sad smile her apology
                         G
Sad eyes reaching to the door
 
[Verse 2]
D           E7/D             Em/D          D
 Daylight loses to another evening
G/D            D             E7/D    Em/D
 And still she spares me the word goodbye
D               E7/D                   Em/D       D
 And sits alone beside me fighting her feelings
G/D           D                Em/D         D
 Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry
 
[Bridge]
Bm/G       A         G       D
     Suddenly its so hard to find
G                     F#m                 Asus4/2
     The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind
G                     F#m           Asus4/2
     So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind:
 
[Chorus]
          D          G/D  Em/D          D
There's a train everyday leaving either way
D       E7/D            Em/D
There's a world, you know
D                D9
There's a way to go
G                  A                     Bm    A
And you'll soon be gone - that's just as well
G
This is my opening farewell
 
D   D9  G   A   Bm   A   G

[Verse 3]
D           E7/D                      Em/D       D
 A child's drawings left there on the table
G/D            D          E7/D   Em/D
 And a woman's silk lying on the floor
D                      E7/D           Em/D       D
 And I would keep them here if I were able
G/D         D          Em/D      D
 Lock her safe behind this open door
 
[Bridge]
Bm/G           A         G        D
    But suddenly it's so clear to me
G                         F#m                     Asus4/2
    That I'd asked her to see what she may never see
G                   F#m              Asus4/2
    And now my kind words find their way back to me
 
[Chorus]
          D          G/D  Em/D          D
There's a train everyday leaving either way
D         E7/D             Em/D
There's a world, you know
D                  D9
You got a way's to go
G                 A                  Bm    A
And I'll soon believe - it's just as well
G
This is my opening farewell
 
[Outro]
D   D9  G  A  Bm  A   G
