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

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
