My Opening Farewell Lyrics - Sweet Forgiveness - Bonnie Raitt

A lady stands before an open window 

looking so far away 

she 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 

Daylight loses to another evening 

still he spares me words goodbye 

sits alone beside me fighting his feelings 

struggles to speak but in the end can only cry

Suddenly it's so hard to find 

the sound of the words to speak his troubled mind 

so I'm offering ease to him as if to be kind 

There's a train every day 

leading 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 child's drawings left there on the table 

and a woman's silk is lying on the floor 

I would keep them here if I were able 

to lock you safe behind it's open door 

Suddenly it's so clear to me 

that I'd ask you to see what you may never see 

now my kind words find their way back to me

There's a train every day 

leading either way 

there's world you know 

got a way to go 

I soon believe it's just as well 

this is my opening farewell 

This is my opening farewell.
