Townes Van Zandt — I’ll Be Here In The Morning

[Verse 1] Well 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 [Chorus] Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while [Verse 2] 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 highway's call to me [Chorus] Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while [Verse 4] Ah 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 [Chorus] 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
