happy new year

54 trips around the sun and the start of a new one…

this was my earwig this morning:

“tomorrow is a long time”
by bob dylan
as sung by Lowen & Navarro

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 is waiting
if i could hear her heart a-softly pounding
yes and only if she were lying by me
would i lie in my bed once again

i can’t see my reflection in the water
i can’t speak the sounds that show no pain
i can’t hear the echoes of my footsteps
or remember the sound of my own name

yes, and only if my own true love is waiting
if i could hear her heart a-softly pounding
yes and only if she were lying by me
would i lie in my bed once again

there’s a beauty in that silver singin’ river
there’s a beauty in that rainbow in the sky
but none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
i remember in my true love’s eyes

yes, and only if my own true love is waiting
if i could hear her heart a-softly pounding
yes and only if she were lying by me
would i lie in my bed once again
would i lie in my bed once again
