Sandy Denny - Tomorrow Is A Long Time Lyrics






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 you at all
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
Only if he was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the waters
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
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
Only if he 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
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding
Only if he was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

    I wore out my LP playing this song. Great song, especially like the steel guitar by Sneaky Pete Kleinow.

    Best cover of Dylan tune. No one even remembers Sandy Denny...that's a shame

    Julie July Band. Check them out.

    Oh, yes we do! I remember Sandy Denny more readily than Bob Dylan, and I cannot understand why so many people feel it necessary to mention she once sang with Led Zeppelin- as though that was some sort of honour for her!

    The Kingston Trio do a beautiful version of this song and , dare I say, their vocals are almost as haunting as this version by Sandy Denny.
