Nickel Creek - Tomorrow is a Long Time lyrics

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, and only if my own true love was waiting

If I could hear his heart softly pounding

Yes, and only if he was lying by me

Would I lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the waters

I can't speak the sounds that show no pain

I can't hear the echo of my footsteps

Or remember the sound of my own name

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting

If I could hear his heart softly pounding

Yes, and only if he was lying by me

Would I lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in that silver singing river

There's beauty in that sunrise in the sky

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 own true love was waiting

If I could hear his heart softly pounding

Yes, and only if he was lying by me

Would I lie in my bed once again
