Tomorrow Is a Long Time [London: 1998-06-27] Songtext
von Bob Dylan

If today was not a crooked highway
If tonight I could finally stand tall
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
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
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 know 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 own true love was waiting
Yes, if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lying by me
Then I′d lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver singin′ river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can mach the beauty
That I remember in my true love′s eyes

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin′
Yes, and only if she was lying by me
And I′d lie in my bed once again
