| | MY OPENING FAREWELL Lyrics Artist(Band):Jackson Browne
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 it's so hard to find The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind: There's a train every day leaving either way There's a world, you know There's a way to go And you'll soon be gone -- that's just as well This is my opening farewell A child's drawings left there on the table And a woman's silk lying on the floor And I would keep them here if I were able And lock her safe behind this open door But suddenly it's so clear to me That I'd asked her to see what she may never see And now my kind words find their way back to me There's a train every day leaving either way There's a world, you know You got a way's to go And I'll soon believe -- it's just as well This is my opening farewell If you find some error in MY OPENING FAREWELL Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about MY OPENING FAREWELL A Great Song by One of the Greatest | Reviewer: Paul Odegard | 10/11/09 I began listening to Jackson Browne in high school. Can't count the hours singing along with him until I had the words, timing and vocals down, and I still turn to his songs for solace and connection to the teen and the man he has become over the years. "My Opening Farewell" reminds me of my mother and I the night before I left home for the Peace Corps. Thanks JB. What a beautiful and painful song. One of JB's best, and an all-time favorite | Reviewer: Misha ben-david | 1/25/06 This is one of the greatest broken heart songs ever written, in my opinion. It's poignant, sad, dark and most vivid. I realize Jackson Browne is about as hip as racoon coats, but he is one of the most thoughtful writers of my generation. It's hard for me to dislike any JB song, and if I had to make a list of the ten best songs I've ever heard ( I'm a professional musician, former daily newspaper music writer, and owner of about 3,000 CDs ) this would be on that list or would be one of the last and most regrettable cuts from that list. There's a half dozen other JB songs that would merit consideration, too. BTW...check out Bonnie Raitt's wonderful cover of "MOF" with Jackson sitting in on her "Road Tested" live album.
