Arthur Russell
Close My Eyes
[Verse 1]
I close my eyes and listen
To hear the corn come out
Don't you hear the stars, they glisten
As we go in and out
Down where the trees grow together
And the western path comes to an end
See the sign, it says clear weather
Come meet me tonight, my friend
[Chorus]
And will the corn be growin' a little tonight
As I wait in the fields for you
Who knows what grows 'neeth the morning light
As we can feel the watery dew
[Verse 2]
I just can't be there with no othеr
I know the hills will ring true
Away from my sister and brothеr
Down by the grasses so new
The air is sweet and steady
And flowers, they bloom out of sight
I know that I will be ready
Come meet me down here tonight
[Chorus]
And will the corn be growin' a little tonight
As I wait in the fields for you
Who knows what grows 'neeth the morning light
As we can feel the watery dew
