the transcendent power of science fiction

'the walking dead' season finale, episode 6 'ts-19'

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,
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.
