Nickel Creek - Tomorrow is a Long Time Lyrics

Send "Tomorrow is a Long Time" Ringtone to Cell Phone

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 
Yes, and only if he was lying by me 
Would I 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 
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 lying by me 
Would I lie in my bed once again 

There's beauty in that silver singing river 
There's beauty in that 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 
Yes, and only if he was lying by me 
Would I lie in my bed once again
