She turns from her window to me
That I'd asked her to see what she may never see
There's a world you know, there's a way to go
The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind
There's a train every day leaving either way
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry
She can almost feel the southern wind blow
There's a world you know, you got a way's to go
A child's drawings left there on the table
There's a train every day leaving either way
Sad smile her apology
To lock her safe behind this open door
Sits alone beside me fighting her feelings
And I would keep them here if I were able
Daylight loses to another evening
And I'll soon believe, it's just as well
And you'll soon be gone, that's just as well
Sad eyes reaching to the door
Almost touching her restless day
And still she spares me the word goodbye
This is my opening farewell
So I'm offering ease to her as if to be kind
And now my kind words find their way back to me
And a woman's silk lying on the floor
But suddenly it's so clear to me
Suddenly it's so hard to find
