Tomorrow Is A Long Time Lyrics - Why Should The Fire Die? - Nickel Creek

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?
