My Opening Farewell Lyrics - Paper Airplane - Alison Krauss & Union Station

My love stands before the open window 

Staring so far away 

He can almost feel the southern wind blow 

Almost touching my restless days 

He turns from the window to me 

Sad smile his apology 

Sad eyes reaching for the door 

Daylight loses to another evening 

And still he spares me the word goodbye 

He sits alone beside me fighting his feelings 

He struggles to speak but in the end I only cry 

Suddenly it's so hard to find 

The words that would help me speak my troubled mind 

He's offering these to me as if to be kind: 

There is a train everyday leaving either way 

There is a train everyday leaving either way 

There is a world, you know 

And there is a way to go 

And we'll soon be gone, it's just as well 

This is my opening farewell 

A child's drawing is on the table 

A woman's silk lying on the floor 

And he would keep me here if I were able 

And lock us safe behind this open door 

But suddenly it's so clear to me 

I've asked him to see what he may never see 

Now his kind words find their way back to me 

There is a train everyday leaving either way 

There is a world, you know 

And there is a way to go 

And we'll soon be gone, it's just as well 

This is my opening farewell
