My Opening Farewell (Live)

My Opening Farewell (Live) - Bonnie Raitt/Jackson Browne (傑克遜·布朗)

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
