Tomorrow Is a Long Time

Tomorrow Is a Long Time - Odetta

Written 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 you at all

Yes and only if my true love was waiting

Yes and if I could hear her heart a-softly pounding

Only if she 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

I can't remember the sound of my own name

Yes and only if my true love was waiting

If I could hear his heart a-softly pounding

Only if she was lying by me

And 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 touch the beauty

That I remember in my true loves eyes

Yes and only if my true love was waiting

Yes and if I could hear his heart a-softly pounding

Only if she was lying by me

And I'd lie in my bed once again

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 a-softly pounding

Only if he was lying by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again
