By townes van zandt
Theres 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 thats as real
As a love thats in my mind
Close your eyes
Ill be here in the morning
Close your eyes
Ill be here for a while
Theres lots of things along the road
Id surely like to see
Id like to lean into the wind
And tell myself Im free
But your softest whispers louder
Than the highways call to me
All the mountains and the rivers
And the valleys cant 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
Ill be layin here beside you
When the sun comes on the rise
Ill stay as long as the cuckoo wails
And the lonesome bluejay cries.
