Tomorrow Is Such A Long Time Lyrics - Nick Drake

If today were not an endless highway 

If tonight were not a crooked trail 

If tomorrow weren't such a long time 

Then the lonesome would mean nothing to me at all 

And only if my own true love were waiting for me 

And if I could hear her heart softly pounding 

If only she were lying by me 

And I could sleep in my bed once again 

I can't see my reflection in the water 

Can't speak the sounds that show no pain 

I can't hear the echo of my footsteps 

Can't remember the sound of my own name 

And only if my own true love were waiting for me 

And if I could hear her heart softly pounding 

If only she were lying by me 

And I could sleep in my bed once again 

There's beauty in the silver, singing river 

There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky 

None of these can touch the beauty 

That I remember in my true love's eyes 

And only if my own true love were waiting for me 

And if I could hear he heart softly pounding 

If only she were lying by me 

And she could lie in my bed once again
