"Tomorrow Is A Long Time" lyrics

"Tomorrow Is A Long Time"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all

Yes 'n' only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
Only if she were lying by me, I'd lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the water
Can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Can't remember the sound of my own name

Yes 'n' only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
Only if she were lying by me, I'd lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver singing river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes

Yes 'n' only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
Only if she were lying by me, I'd lie in my bed once again
