Bonnie Raitt Opening Farewell Lyrics

Opening Farewell Lyrics

Opening Farewell



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

did i lose to his to another evenging

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 its so hard to find

the sound of the words to speak his troubled mind

so im 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

i soon believe it's just as well

this is my opening farewell



a childs drawings left there on the table

and a womans silk is laying on the floor

i would keep them here if were able

to lock you safe behind this open door



suddenly its so clear to me

that i asked you to see what you may never see

now my kind words find their way back to me



there's a train everyday 

leaving either way

there's a world u know

gotta way to go

i soon believe its just as well

this is my opening farewell

this is my opening farewell
