looking [A] so [E]
far away.
[A] He can [B] almost [A] feel the southern [E] winds [D] blow, [A]
[D] [A] gently touching [Bm] his [A] restless day.
He
[E] turns [D] from his window to [A] me, [D] [A] sad smile his [E] apology.

[A] Sits alone [B] beside me, fighting [D] his feelings.

Struggles to speak, but [Em] in the end [A] can only cry.
[E] Suddenly it's [D] so hard to [A]
find, [D] the [A] sound of the words to speak [E] is trouble mine.

child's [B] drawing [E] is left [Bm] there on the table, [A]
[D] and a [A]
woman's silk is [E] lying [Em] on the floor.
[A]
I would keep them [B] here if [Bm] I were able, [A]
[D] to [A] lock you safe behind [E] this open [A] door.
[E] Suddenly it's [D] so clear to [A] me, [D] that I'd [C#m] ask you to see [A] what you may [E] never see.
[D] Now [A] my kind words find [E] their way back to me.
There's [A] a train [Bm] everyday, [D] leaving [A] he's away.
There's [E] a world you know, [Em] [A]
got a way to go.
