[G] [D]
Lady stands before an open window, [G] [D] staring so only far away.
She can almost feel the southern wind blowin' behind her.
Almost touching me [E] in the [D] restless day.
She [A] turns from the [G] window to me,
[D]
[G] [F#m] Stares my [G] with [A] apology, staring at me to [G] be bold.
[D] Daylight moves us to another [G]
meeting,
[D] [G]
[D] Still she says me words goodbye.
[G] [D] And sits alone beside me, fighting a few years.
[G] [D] Struggles to speak but in the [E] end [D] can only cry.
[Bm] [A]
Suddenly [G] it's so hard to [D] find,
[G] The sound [G#] of her words to [Em] speak her troubled [A] mind.
[G]
So I'm offering [F#] these two [G] letters to be [A] kind.
[D] As it's raining everyday, leading me away.
As it pours anew, [E]
[D] I have a way to go.
[G] And you'll soon [A] be gone, it just as [Bm] well.
[A] [D]
[G] This is my own [D]
farewell.

[D] [G]
[D]
[E] Child's [D] drawings [E] lying on the [D] table,
And a woman's self lying on the floor.
And I will keep you here, [G] I will [D] enable,
[G] To [D] lock her safe behind [E] this open [D] door.
[A] [D] [A] Suddenly [G] it's so clear [D] to me,
[G] That [F#m] I should [G] see what she may never [A] see.
[G]
But [F#m] now my kind words find [A] their way back to me.
[D] As it's raining [E] everyday, leading me [D] away.
[E] As it pours
[G] anew, [D] I have a way [G] to go.
And you'll soon [A] be gone, [G] it just as [Bm] well.
[A] [D]
[G] This is my own farewell.
