Tomorrow is a Long Time Lyrics

Tomorrow is a Long Time - NICKEL CREEK
This is a great cover of the Bob Dylan song from Nickel Creek's
"Why Should the Fire Die?" album. It's not exactly how they play it,
but it sounds close and it's easy to play on a single guitar.
INTRO:
VERSE:
If to- -day was not an endless highway
If to- -night was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
CHORUS:
Yes, only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear his heart softly pounding
And on - ly if he was lying by me
Would I lie in my bed once
again
(Then into the next verse.)
End on G.
INTRO:
VERSE 1:
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 me at all
CHORUS:
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear his heart softly poundin'
Yes and only if he was lyin' by me
Would I lie in my bed once again.
VERSE 2:
I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or can't remember the sound of my own name
(solos)
VERSE 3:
There's beauty in that silver, singing river
There's beauty in that sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
