Bb Baby C/Bb stands before Eb/Bb that open Bb window Eb/Bb looking Bb so C/Bb far Eb/Bb away

Eb/Bb Gently Bb touching his Eb restless Bb day
Fsus He tu F7 rns from his w Eb indow to m Bb e
Eb Sad Dm smile his F7sus apology sad eyes reaching to the Eb door
Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb Daylight loses to another evening and still he spares me the word
goodbye
Bb He sits a C/Bb lone beside me f Eb/Bb ighting his f Bb eelings
Eb/Bb Struggles to Bb speak but in the end can Eb/Bb only Bb cry
Fsus Sudden F7 ly it's so Eb hard to Bb find
Eb The sound of the Dm words to speak his F7sus troubled mind
Eb So I'm offering Dm these to him as Fsus if to be kind
There's a Bb train every Eb day F leaving either Bb way
There's a C/Bb world you kno Eb/Bb w Bb there's a way to C go and
Eb You'll soon be F7 gone it's just as Gm well Eb this is my opening fare Bb well
Bb C/Bb Eb Bb Eb/Bb Bb C/Bb Eb/Bb A child's drawings left on the table and a woman's silk lying on the
floor
Bb I would keep them C/Bb here Eb if I were Bb able
Eb/Bb To lock you Bb safe behind this Eb/Bb open Bb door
F7sus But suddenly it's so Eb clear to Bb me
Eb That I asked you to Dm see what you may F7sus never see
Eb And now my kind words Dm find their way F7sus back to me
There's a Bb train every Eb day F leaving either Bb way
There's a C/Bb world you kno Eb/Bb w Bb got a way to go a C nd
Eb You'll soon be F7 gone it's just as Gm well Eb this is my opening fare Bb well
