[Bb] [C]
[Eb] [Bb] [C]
[Bb] [C] Baby stands before an open window [Bb]
Looking [Eb] [Bb] so [C] [Cm] far [F] away
[Bb] He [C] can almost feel [Cm] the southern [Eb] winds blow [Bb]
[Eb] [Dm] Gently touching [F] his [Bb] restless face
He [F] turns [Eb] from his window to [Bb] me [Eb] Sad [Dm] smile, his [F] apology
Sad eyes [Eb] reaching to the door [Bb]
Daylight [C] loses to [Eb] another [Bb] evening
[Eb] And [Bb] still he spares [C] me the [Cm] words [Bb] goodbye
[C] Sits alone [Cm] beside me [Gm] fighting his [Bb] feelings [Eb]
Struggles [Dm] to speak but [Eb] in the end [Bb] can only cry
[F] Suddenly I'm [Eb] [Bb] there to find [Eb] The [Dm] sound of the [F] words to speak is trouble mine
I [Eb] [Dm] bring these [F] to him as if to be kind
[Bb] There's a train [Eb] everyday Leaving [Bb] either way
[C] There's a world you [Eb] know There's [Bb]
[Fm] a way to go
[Eb] [F] You'll soon be gone as [Gm] just as well
[F] [Eb] This is my [Bb] opening carol
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
A [Gm] child's drawings [Eb] left there on the [Bb] table And [Eb]
[Bb] a woman's silk [C] is lying [Eb] on the floor
[Bb]
I [C] would keep them [Eb] here if I were [Bb] able [Eb]
To [Dm] lock [Bb] you safe [F] behind this [Bb] open door
[F] Suddenly [Eb] it's so clear [Bb] to me [Eb] That [Dm] I don't see [F] what you may never see
[Eb] Now [Dm] my dead [F] words find their way back to me
[Bb] There's a train [Eb] everyday Leaving [Bb] either way
[C] There's a world you [Eb] know [Bb]
There's a way to [Fm] [Eb] go
You'll [F] soon be gone as [Gm] just as well
[F] [Eb] This is my [Bb] opening farewell
[Eb] This [F] [Gm]
[F] [Eb] is my [Bb] opening farewell
