Tomorrow Is a Long Time (Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan - February 28, 1978) 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

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear her heart softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
I would 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 remember the sound of my own name

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear her heart softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
I would lie in my bed once again

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear her heart softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
I would lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in that silver, singing river
And there's beauty in that rainbow 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
And if I could hear her hurt heart softly pounding
Only if she was lying by me
I would lie in my bed once again
