Alison Krauss - My Opening Farewell Lyrics
My love stands before the open windowStaring so far awayHe can almost feel the southern wind blowAlmost touching my restless daysHe turns from the window to meSad smile his apologySad eyes reaching for the doorDaylight loses to another eveningAnd still he spares me the word goodbyeHe sits alone beside me fighting his feelingsHe struggles to speak but in the end I only crySuddenly it's so hard to findThe words that would help me speak my troubled mindHe鈥檚 offering these to me as if to be kind:There is a train everyday leaving either wayThere is a train everyday leaving either wayThere is a world, you knowAnd there is a way to goAnd we'll soon be gone, it's just as wellThis is my opening farewellA child's drawing is on the tableA woman's silk lying on the floorAnd he would keep me here if I were ableAnd lock us safe behind this open doorBut suddenly it's so clear to meI've asked him to see what he may never seeNow his kind words find their way back to meThere is a train everyday leaving either wayThere is a world, you knowAnd there is a way to goAnd we'll soon be gone, it's just as wellThis is my opening farewell
