Tomorrow Is a Long Time (Witmark Demo - 1962) Bob Dylan

[Verse 1]
If today was not a crooked highway
If tonight I could finally stand tall
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 waitin’
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’
Only if she was lyin’ by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again

[Verse 2]
I can’t see my reflection in the waters
I can’t speak the sounds that know no pain
I can’t hear the echo of my footsteps
I can’t remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin’
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’
Only if she was lyin’ by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again

[Verse 3]
There’s beauty in the silver, singin’ river
There’s beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty
That I remember in my true love’s eyes
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin’
If I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’
Only if she was lyin’ by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again
