Townes Van Zandt

I'll Be Here in the Morning

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

But there's nothin' that's as real as a 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

Well, 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 highways call 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 dancin' eyes and yellow shining hair

I could never hit the open road and leave you lyin' there

Close your eyes, I'll be here in the morning

Close your eyes, I'll be here for a while

Oh, lay your head back easy, love

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 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
