Chrissie Hynde Tomorrow Is A Long Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
Only if he was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

[Verse 2]
I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
I can't remember the sound of my own name

[Chorus] And if only my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
Only if he was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bеd once again

[Verse 3]
There's bеauty in that silver, singing river
There's beauty in the rainbow in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes

[Chorus]
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
Only if he was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
