He can almost feel southern winds blow
There's a world you know, there's a way to go
He turns from his window to me
I would keep them here if I were able
A child's drawing's left there on the table
To lock you safe behind it's open door
Sad smile, his apology
What you may never see
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry
There's a train every day leading either way
Suddenly it's so clear to me
So I'm offering ease to him as if to be kind
This is my opening farewell
To speak his troubled mind
Sad eyes reaching to the door
There's a train every day leaving either way
Suddenly it's so hard to find
That I'd ask you to see
Now my kind words find their way back to me
Sits alone beside me, fighting his feelings
And a woman's silk is lying on the floor
There's world you know, got a way to go
You'll soon be gone, it's just as well
I'll soon be gone, it's just as well
Daylight loses to another evening
The sound of the words
Gently touching his restless day
And still he spares me the words 'Goodbye'
