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 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
