My Opening Farewell

  
Bb     C/Bb          Eb/Bb     Bb     Eb/Bb   Bb C/Bb  Eb/Bb 
Baby   stands before that open window looking so far   away  
Bb            C/Bb     Eb/Bb          Bb 
He can almost feel the southern winds blow  
Eb/Bb  Bb           Eb       Bb  
Gently touching his restless day   
Fsus F7            Eb        Bb 
He turns from his window to me  
Eb  Dm        F7sus                            Eb 
Sad smile his apology sad eyes reaching to the door  
Bb       C/Bb     Eb/Bb   Bb          Eb/Bb     Bb            C/Bb 
Eb/Bb 
Daylight loses to another evening and still  he spares me the word 
goodbye 
Bb       C/Bb            Eb/Bb        Bb 
He sits alone beside me fighting his feelings  
Eb/Bb        Bb                        Eb/Bb Bb 
Struggles to speak but  in the end can only  cry 
Fsus  F7         Eb      Bb 
Suddenly it's so hard to find    
Eb               Dm                  F7sus  
The sound of the words to speak his  troubled mind  
Eb              Dm              Fsus      
So I'm offering these to him as if to be kind  
          Bb          Eb  F              Bb 
There's a train every day leaving either way   
          C/Bb         Eb/Bb   Bb               C       
There's a world you know       there's a way to go and 
Eb             F7                Gm     Eb                     Bb  
You'll soon be gone it's just as well   this is my opening farewell  
Bb        C/Bb          Eb     Bb     Eb/Bb         Bb         C/Bb 
Eb/Bb 
A child's drawings left on the table  and a woman's silk lying on the 
floor  
Bb                C/Bb Eb        Bb 
I would keep them here if I were able  
Eb/Bb       Bb               Eb/Bb Bb 
To lock you safe behind this open  door  
F7sus                Eb       Bb 
But suddenly it's so clear to me  
Eb                  Dm               F7sus 
That I asked you to see what you may never see   
Eb                    Dm             F7sus 
And now my kind words find their way back to me  
          Bb          Eb  F              Bb 
There's a train every day leaving either way   
          C/Bb         Eb/Bb   Bb               C       
There's a world you know       got a way to go and 
Eb             F7                Gm     Eb                     Bb  
You'll soon be gone it's just as well   this is my opening farewell
