TOMORROW IS A LONG TIME - ODETTA SINGS DYLAN

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
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear his heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, only if he was lyin' 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 remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
And if I could hear his heart a-softly poundin'
Yes and only if he was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
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 waitin'
If I could hear his heart a softly poundin'
Yes and only if he was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

(Letra e Música de Bob Dylan)
