Lyrics Paul Kelly – I Close My Eyes And Think Of You

When another day has ended
And everything’s been said and done
And the lights across the valley
All go out one by one

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 weary eyes
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
