Paul Kelly - I Close My Eyes and Think of You Lyrics lyrics

rate me

When another day has ended

And everything's been said and done

And the lights across the valley

All go out one by one

I close my eyes, I close my eyes and think of you

I close my heavy eyes and that's all I need to do

Sometimes when I get a moment

In the middle of the day

And nothing else needs my attention

I take my chance and slip away

I close my eyes, I close my eyes and think of you

I close my heavy eyes and that's all I need to do

I hear the big trucks changing gears

As they go rolling by my door

The driver counts his days 'til he gets home

If I could only count my days

But I just don't know what's in store

I've been so long on my own

I know there's a singing river

I've heard about the golden shore

But I would pass by all that beauty

Just to be with you once more

I close my eyes, I close my eyes and think of you

I close my heavy eyes and that's all I need to do

I close my weary eyes and that's when I think of you
