My Opening Farewell — текст песни (Jackson Browne)





A lady stands before an open window

Staring so far away

She can almost feel the southern wind blow

Almost touching her restless day



She turns from her window to me

Sad smile her apology

Sad eyes reaching to the door



Daylight loses to another evening

And still she spares me the word goodbye

And sits alone beside me fighting her feelings

Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry



Suddenly its so hard to find

The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind

So Im offering these to her as if to be kind:

Theres a train everyday leaving either way

Theres a world, you know

Theres a way to go

And youll soon be gone -- thats just as well

This is my opening farewell



A childs drawings left there on the table

And a womans silk lying on the floor

And I would keep them here if I were able

Lock her safe behind this open door



But suddenly its so clear to me

That Id asked her to see what she may never see

And now my kind words find their way back to me

Theres a train everyday leaving either way

Theres a world, you know

You got a ways to go

And Ill soon believe -- its just as well

This is my opening farewell
