Tomorrow Is A Long Time Lyrics - Ben Harper

( 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
