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
