Opening Farewell<br />

<br />

Baby stands before an open window<br />

looking so far away<br />

he can almost feel the southern winds blow<br />

gently touching his restless day<br />

<br />

he turns from his window to me<br />

sad smile, his apology<br />

sad eyes reaching to the door<br />

did i lose to his to another evenging<br />

still he spares me the words goodbye<br />

sits alone beside me fighting his feelings<br />

struggles to speak but in the end can only cry<br />

<br />

suddenly its so hard to find<br />

the sound of the words to speak his troubled mind<br />

so im offering these to him as if to be kind<br />

there's a train every day<br />

leaving either way<br />

there's a world you know<br />

there's a way to go<br />

i soon believe it's just as well<br />

this is my opening farewell<br />

<br />

a childs drawings left there on the table<br />

and a womans silk is laying on the floor<br />

i would keep them here if were able<br />

to lock you safe behind this open door<br />

<br />

suddenly its so clear to me<br />

that i asked you to see what you may never see<br />

now my kind words find their way back to me<br />

<br />

there's a train everyday <br />

leaving either way<br />

there's a world u know<br />

gotta way to go<br />

i soon believe its just as well<br />

this is my opening farewell<br />

this is my opening farewell
