I'll Be Here In The Morning

(album: The Stardust Sessions - 2022)

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 nothing 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

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

All the mountains and the rivers and the valleys can't compare
To your blue lit dancing, flashing eyes, your yellow shining hair
I could never hit the open road and leave you lying there

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

Now lay your head back easy, love, close your crying eyes
I'll be laying here beside you when the sun comes on the rise
I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails and the lonesome bluejay cries

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
