Lyrics

If today was not a crooked 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 true love there was waiting
And only I could hear her heart pounding
Only if she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds that show not pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or remember the sound of my own name

Yes and only if my own love was waiting
If I could hear heart softly pounding
Then I'd see us lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver river
There's beauty in the rainbow in the sky
But none of these can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true loves eyes

Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If only I could hear her heart softly pounding
And only if she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
