[C]
[D] [C]
[D] [C] [D]
[C]
My [D] love stands before [F] the open [C] window
[F]
[C] Staring so [D] [F] far away
[C]
He can [D] almost feel [F] the southern [C] wind [F] blow
[C] Almost touching my restless days
[G] He turns [F] from the [C] world to [F] me
Sad [Em] smile, [C] his apology
[G]
Sad eyes reaching [F] for the door
[C] [D] Daylight loses [F] to another [C]
evening
[F] And still [C] he spares [D] me the word [F] goodbye
[C] He sits [D] alone beside [F] me, fighting his [C]
feelings
[F] He struggles [C] to speak but in [F] the end I don't [C] know
[G] Suddenly it's [F] so hard [C] to find
[F] The words [Em] that would help me [G] speak my troubled [F] mind
He's [G] offering these to [F] me as if to [G] be kind
There is [C] a train everyday
Leaving either way
There is a train everyday
Leaving either way
There [D] is a world [F] to know
[C]
And [Gm] there is a way [C] to go
[F]
We'll soon [G] be [Abm] gone, it's [Am] just as well
[G] This [F]
is my opening [C] [D] farewell
[C]
[F] A [G] [Am]
[G] [F] [C]
[D] child's drawing [F] is on [C] the table
[F]
A [C] woman's silk [D] lying on [F] the [C] floor
And he [D] would keep me here [F] if I [C] were able
[F]
And lock [C] us safe behind [D] [C] his open door
[G] But suddenly it's [F] so clear [C] to me
[F] I've [G] asked him to see what he may never see
[F] His [G] kind words find [F] their way back [G] to me
There [C] is a train everyday
Leaving either way
There [D] is a world [F] to know
[C] And there is [Gm] a way [C] to go
[F] We'll soon [G] be [Abm] gone, it's just [Am] as well
[G] [F] This is my opening [C] fare
[D] [C] [Bb] [C] [F] [G] [Am] [G]
