There's no stronger wind,
than the one that blows down
a lonesome railroad line,
No prettier sight than looking back
on a town you left behind
There's nothin' that's as real
as the love that's in my mind.
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
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 feel that I'm free
But your softest whisper's louder than
the highway's calls to me
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
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 dancing eyes
and your yellow shining hair
And I could never hit the road
and just leave you lying there
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while
Lay your head back easy,
love, and close your crying eyes
I'll be laying here beside you
when the sun comes on the rise
I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails
and the lonesome blue jay cries.
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while
