Lyrics:

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 words 'Goodbye'
Sits 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
And you'll soon be gone, that's just as well
This is my opening farewell

A child's drawing's 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

But suddenly, it's so clear to me
That I'd ask 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
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
