Arthur Russell - Close My Eyes
transcribed by Ben Whitlock
I'll close my eyes and listen
G/f#
to you, the corn come out.
Don't you hear the stars, they glisten,
as we go in and out.
Down where the trees grow together,
G/f#
and the western path comes to an end
to see the sign it says 'clear weather',
I'll meet you tonight, my friend.
Will the corn be growing a little tonight,
as I wait in the fields for you?
Who knows what grows in the morning light
when we can feel the watery dew?
I just can't be there with no other,
G/f#
I know those hills will be true,
away from my sister and brother,
and down through the grasses so blue.
The air is sweet and steady
G/f#
and flowers bloom out of sight,
I know the sky is ready,
come meet me down here tonight.
Will the corn be growing a little tonight,
as I wait in the fields for you?
Who knows what grows in the morning light
when we can feel the watery dew?
