( Bob Dylan cover / Live performance with Ellen Verdries, his mother )
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
Only if my own true love was waitin´ And if I could hear his heart a-softly poundin´ Only if he was lyin´ by me Could I rest in my bed once again
I can´t see my reflection in the water I can´t speak the sounds that know 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´ Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin´
And only if my own true love was waitin´
And if I could hear his heart a-softly poundin´ Only if he was lyin´ by me Could I rest in my bed once again
There´s beauty in the silver singin´ river There´s beauty in the sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty That I remember in my own true lover´s eyes
And only if my own true love was waitin´ And if I could hear his heart a-softly poundin´ Only if he was lyin´ by me Could I rest in my bed once again Could I rest in my bed once again
