I’ll Be Here In The Morning by Townes Van Zandt Lyrics

[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
