Lyrics: Iā€™ll Be Here In The Morning

Thereā€™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 nothinā€™ thatā€™s as real
as a love thatā€™s in my mindClose your eyes
Iā€™ll be here in the morning
close your eyes
Iā€™ll be here for a whileThereā€™s lots of things along the road
Iā€™d surely like to see
Iā€™d like to lean into the wind
and tell myself Iā€™m free
but your softest whisperā€™s louder
than the highways call to meClose your eyes
Iā€™ll be here in the morning
close your eyes
Iā€™ll be here for a while
All the mountains and the rivers
and the valleys canā€™t compare
to your blue lit dancinā€™ eyes
and yellow shining hair
I could never hit the open road
and leave you layinā€™ there
Close your eyes
Iā€™ll be here in the morning
close your eyes
Iā€™ll be here for a while
Lay your head back easy, love,
close your cryinā€™ eyes
Iā€™ll be layinā€™ here beside you
when the sun comes on the rise
Iā€™ll stay as long as the cuckoo wails
and the lonesome bluejay cries.
Close your eyes
Iā€™ll be here in the morning
close your eyes
Iā€™ll be here for a whileĀ [x2]
