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
