By townes van zandt |
|
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 is 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 |
|
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 |
|
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 layin' there |
|
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 bluejay cries. |
