Lyrics Tomorrow Is a Long Time - Joan Baez

If today was not a crooked highway
If tonight I could finally stand tall
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
Only if my own true love was waiting
If I could only hear her heart a-softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
I'd lie in my bed once again
Can't see my reflection in the water
Can't speak the sounds that know no pain
Can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Don't know the sound of my own name
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could only hear her heart softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
Then 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
Only if my own true love was waiting
If I could only hear her heart softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
