There's no stronger wind than the one that blows
Down a lonesome railroad line
No prettier sight than lookin' back
On a town you left behind
There is nothin' that's as real
As a love that's in my mind
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the mornin'
Close your eyes, I'll be here for a while
There's lots of things along the road
I'd surely like to see
I'd like to lean into the wind
And tell myself I'm free
But your softest whisper's louder
than the highway's call to me
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the mornin'
Close your eyes, I'll be here for a while
All the mountains and the rivers
And the valleys can't compare
To your blue-lit dancin' eyes,
Yellow shinin' hair
I could never hit the open road
And leave you lyin' there
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the mornin'
Close your eyes, I'll be here for a while
Lay your head back easy, love,
And close your cryin' eyes
I'll be layin' here beside you
When the sun comes on the rise
I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails
And the lonesome bluejay cries.
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the mornin'
Close your eyes, I'll be here for a while
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the mornin'
Close your eyes, I'll be here for a while
