There's no stronger wind than the one that blows
Down a lonesome railroad line
There's a prettier sight than looking back

On the town you left behind,
Nothing is as real as a love that's in your mind


Chorus:
Close your eyes, I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes, I'll be here for a while


And the rivers and the mountains, and the valleys
can't compare

With your blue-lit, flashing, dancing eyes
And your yellow shining hair
I'd never hit that open road, and leave you lying

there

Chorus


Lay your head back easy easy, love, and dry your
crying eyes

I'll be here in the morning when the sun is on the
rise
I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails

And the lonesome blue jay cries

Chorus
