Song title: Bonnie Raitt - My Opening Farewell

Edit By: 216.73.216.251

A lady stands before an open window
Looking so far away
She 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
Still he spares me words goodbye
Sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry

Suddenly its so hard to find
The sound of the words to speak his troubled mind
So Im offering ease to him as if to be kind

Theres a train every day
Leading either way
Theres a world you know
Theres a way to go
I soon believe its just as well
This is my opening farewell

A childs drawings left there on the table
And a womans silk is lying on the floor
I would keep them here if I were able
To lock you safe behind its open door

Suddenly its so clear to me
That Id ask you to see what you may never see
Now my kind words find their way back to me

Theres a train every day
Leading either way
Theres world you know
Got a way to go
I soon believe its just as well
This is my opening farewell

This is my opening farewell.
