Sandy Denny - 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 you at all.

Yesand only if my own 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.

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 can't remember the sound of my own name.

Yesand only if my own 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 silversinging river

There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky

But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty

That I remember in my true love's eyes.

Yesand only if my own 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.
