My love stands before the open window |
| [00:29.89] |
Staring so far away |
| [00:35.67] |
He can almost feel the southern wind blow |
| [00:42.00] |
Almost touching my restless days |
| [00:48.06] |
|
| [00:49.73] |
He turns from the window to me |
| [00:55.24] |
Sad smile his apology |
| [00:59.74] |
Sad eyes reaching for the door |
| [01:06.51] |
|
| [01:07.50] |
Daylight loses to another evening |
| [01:13.10] |
And still he spares me the word goodbye |
| [01:18.82] |
He sits alone beside me fighting his feelings |
| [01:24.97] |
He struggles to speak but in the end I only cry |
| [01:30.94] |
|
| [01:32.85] |
Suddenly it's so hard to find |
| [01:38.46] |
The words that would help me speak my troubled mind |
| [01:44.48] |
He's offering these to me as if to be kind: |
| [01:49.05] |
There is a train everyday leaving either way |
| [01:55.13] |
There is a train everyday leaving either way |
| [02:00.68] |
There is a world, you know |
| [02:05.37] |
And there is a way to go |
| [02:10.50] |
And we'll soon be gone -- it's just as well |
| [02:17.13] |
This is my opening farewell |
| [02:23.39] |
|
| [02:35.27] |
A child's drawing is on the table |
| [02:41.06] |
A woman's silk lying on the floor |
| [02:46.94] |
And he would keep me here if I were able |
| [02:52.99] |
And lock us safe behind this open door |
| [02:59.57] |
|
| [03:00.83] |
But suddenly it's so clear to me |
| [03:06.43] |
I've asked him to see what he may never see |
| [03:12.36] |
Now his kind words find their way back to me |
| [03:16.70] |
There is a train everyday leaving either way |
| [03:22.63] |
There is a world, you know |
| [03:27.43] |
And there is a way to go |
| [03:32.49] |
And we'll soon be gone -- it's just as well |
| [03:39.07] |
This is my opening farewell |
| [03:46.51] |
