If today was not on a lost highway   If tonight was not a crooked tale   If tomorrow was not such a long time   Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all      I can't see my reflection in the waters   Can't speak the sounds that show no pain   I can't hear the echo of my footsteps   Can't remember the sound of my own name      Yes, and only if my 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 summer singing river   There's beauty in the sunrise in the skies   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 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
