I’ll Be Here in the Morning Songtext
von Townes van Zandt

There′s no stronger wind than the one that blows
Down a lonesome railroad line
No prettier sight than lookin' 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

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 dancin′, flashin′ eyes and your yellow shining hair
I could never hit the open road and leave you lyin' 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 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

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
Close your eyes, I'll be here for a while
