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,
ye sand only if he was lyin' by me would i lie in my bed once again,
i cna'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 lyin' by me would i lie in my bed once again,
there is beauty in the silver singin' river there is 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,
yes and only if my own true love was waiting if i could hear his heart softly pounding,
ye sand only if he was lyin' by me would i lie in my bed once again
