Ben Harper Tomorrow Is A Long Time Lyrics

Tomorrow Is A Long Time Lyrics



( Bob Dylan cover / Live performance with Ellen Verdries, his mother )



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



Only if my own true love was waitin'

And if I could hear his heart a-softly poundin'

Only if he was lyin' by me

Could I rest in my bed once again



I can't see my reflection in the water

I can't speak the sounds that know no pain

I can't hear the echo of my footsteps

Or 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'



And only if my own true love was waitin'

And if I could hear his heart a-softly poundin'

Only if he was lyin' by me

Could I rest in my bed once again



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 own true lover's eyes



And only if my own true love was waitin'

And if I could hear his heart a-softly poundin'

Only if he was lyin' by me

Could I rest in my bed once again

Could I rest in my bed once again
