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

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 pa** 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
