There's no stronger wind than the one That blows, down a lonesome railroad line No prettier sight than the looking back, on a town you've left behind There's nothing that's as real, as a love that's in my mind Close your eyes I'll be here in the mornin' Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile ... There's a lots of things along a road I'd surely like to see I'd like to lean into the wind to tell myself I'm free But your softness whispers louder, than the highways called to me Close your eyes I'll be here in the mornin' Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile ... All the mountains and the rivers and the valleys can't compare To your blue lit dancin' eyes, yellow shinnin' hands I could never hit the open road and leave you lyin' there Close your eyes I'll be here in the mornin' Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile ... 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 a coo-coo wails, and the lonesome Bluetick cries Close your eyes I'll be here in the mornin' Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile Close your eyes I'll be here in the mornin' Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile

You're a mirror to my soul So why then would you leave me here just half a whole? Your reflection lives in me But I won't always be the eye for you to see And I don't ask the world 'Cause I know that you can't carry it And I don't ask for much Just be gentle with your promises If you want me to be here in the morning Don't let me down (let me down) Just lay me down If you want me to be here in the morning Don't let me down (let me down) Just lay me down Yeah, I won't let you down, darling All I, all I wanna do is love you, yeah Don't make it so hard If I'm a mirror to your soul Then tell me why, tell me why I feel invisible? You only see what you've been told, yeah But all I see is this fire that keeps growing old (oh no) And I don't ask the world (ask the world) But we can't go on in silence, no (can't go on) And I don't ask for much Just be gentle with your promises If you want me to be here in the morning Don't let me down (let me down) Just lay me down If you want me to be here in the morning Don't let me down (let me down) Just lay me down 'Cause I love you, baby (New days, darlin') It's a new day (new day), darlin' (oh no) (In the morning) Come on, come on, come on (Wake up) Wake up 'Cause I need you, baby (new days, darlin'), oh yeah (Wake up) Wake up, baby It's a new, it's a new, it's a new day (oh yeah) If you want me to be here in the morning (If you want me to be here in the morning) Don't let me down (no, I won't let you down) Just lay me down (whoa) If you want me to be here in the morning (baby) In the morning (ooh no, no, no) Let you down (let me down) Let me down, yeah If you want me to be here in the morning, in the morning

Can I love deep into the darkness in your heart? I trust you more than anyone I have met before I don't care who you are or who you want to be I'll be here until the day that you leave me Day that you leave me... Day that you leave me... When I'm with you, I know I'm safe beside your arms I'll make sure here that you won't ever feel lonely, no more Every past we had, the future we will see I'll be here until the day that you leave me Day that you leave me... Day that you leave me...

Won't you lend your lungs to me? Mine are collapsing Plant my feet and bitterly breathe Up the time that's passing Breath I'll take and breath I'll give And pray the day's not poison Stand among the ones that live In lonely indecision Fingers walk the darkness down Mind is on the midnight Gather up the gold you've found You fool, it's only moonlight And if you stop to take it home Your hands will turn to butter Better leave this dream alone Try to find another Salvation sat and crossed herself And called the devil partner Wisdom burned upon a shelf Who'll kill the raging cancer Seal the river at its mouth Take the water prisoner Fill the sky with screams and cries Bathe in fiery answers Jesus was an only son And love his only concept Strangers cry in foreign tongues And dirty up the doorstep And I for one, and you for two Ain't got the time for outside Keep your injured looks to you We'll tell the world that we tried

The name she gave was Caroline The daughter of a miner Well, her ways were free and it seemed to me Sunshine walked beside her She said she'd come to look for work She was not seeking favors For a dime a day and a place to stay She'd turn those hands to labor But the times were hard, Lord And the jobs were few All through Tecumseh Valley But she asked around and a job she found Tending bar for Gypsy Sally She saved enough to get back home When spring replaced the winter But her dreams were denied, her pa had died The word come down from Spencer She turned to walkin' down the road From all the hate inside her And it was many a man returned again To walk that road beside her They found her down beneath the stairs That led to Gypsy Sally's In her hand when she died was a note that cried Fare thee well, Tecumseh Valley
