Tomorrow is a Long Time lyrics

If today was not on a lost highway

If tonight was not a crooked tale

If tomorrow was not such a long time

Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all

I can't see my reflection in the waters

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, and only if my true love was waiting

And if I could hear his heart softly pounding

Only if he was lying by me

Then I'd lie in my bed, once again

There's beauty in the summer singing river

There's beauty in the sunrise in the skies

But none of these and nothing else

Can touch the beauty

That I remember in my true love's eyes

Yes, and only if my true love was waiting

And if I could hear his heart softly pounding

Only if he was lying by me

Then I'd lie in my bed

Once again
