Tomorrow is such a long time lyrics

Artist  : Nick drake 
Song : Tomorrow is such a long time
 

If today were not an endless highway
If tonight were not a crooked trail
If tomorrow weren`t such a long time
Then 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 was lying by me
Then I`d lie 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 he heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
Then I`d lie 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 and nothing else 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 was lying by me
And she could lie in my bed once again
