[Intro]
This is a Townes song

[Verse 1]
There's no colder wind than the one that blows down a lonesome railroad line
There's no prettier sight than lookin' back on a town you left behind
There is nothin' that's as real to me as the 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 that 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

[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 valleys and the mountains and the rivers 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]
And lay your head back easy love and close your crying eyes
I'll be laying with you when the sun comes on the rise
Be with you as long as the cukoo wails and the lonesome bluejay cries

[Chorus]
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while
