Tomorrow Is a Long Time
Longing for Love: Reflections on Time and Beauty
Lyrics
If today was not on a lost highway
If today didn't feel directionless and uncertain like a lost path
If tonight was not a crooked tale
If tonight didn't seem filled with a story that's twisted or misleading
If tomorrow was not such a long time
If the future didn't seem so distant and far away
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
Then feeling alone and abandoned wouldn't affect me
I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't find myself or my identity in the reflections on the water
Can't speak the sounds that show no pain
Unable to articulate the sounds that express pain
I can't hear the echo of my foot-steps
I can't perceive the reverberations of my steps
Can't remember the sound of my own name
Unable to recall the familiar sound of my own name
Yes and only if my true love was waiting
Only if my true love were present
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
And if I could sense his heartbeat gently pulsating
Only if he was lying by me
Only if he were lying next to me
Then I'd lie in my bed...once again
Then I'd find comfort in my bed once more
There's beauty in the summer singing river
The beauty resides in the melodious river during summer
There's beauty in the sunrise in the skies
There's beauty in the sunrise and the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
However, none of these compare to the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
That I recall in the eyes of my true love
Yes and only if my true love was waiting
Only if my true love were present
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
And if I could sense his heartbeat gently pulsating
Only if he was lying by me
Only if he were lying next to me
Then I'd lie in my bed...once again
Then I'd find comfort in my bed once more
