Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The lady stands before an open window
Staring so far away
She can almost feel the southern wind blow
Almost touching her restless day
She turns from her window to me
Sad smile her apology
Sad eyes reaching to the door

[Verse 2]
Daylight loses to another evening
And still she spares me the word goodbye
And sits alone beside me fighting her feelings
Struggles to speak, but in the end can only cry

[Pre-Chorus]
Suddenly it's so hard to find
The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind
So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
A child's drawing's left there on the table
And a woman's silk lying on the floor
Well I would keep them here if I were able
To lock her safe behind this open door

[Pre-Chorus]
But suddenly, it's so clear to me
That I'd asked her to see what she may never see
And now my kind words find their way back to me

[Chorus]
There's a train every day
Leaving either way
There's a world you know
You got a way to go
And I'll soon believe
It's just as well
This is my opening farewell
I'll soon believe
It's just as well
This is my opening farewell
Farewell
