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 own true love was waitin'
And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the water(s)
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 waitin'
And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes and only if she 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 rainbow in the sky
But no one 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'
And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes and only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
