Tomorrow Is A Long Time
Composer: Bob Dylan

Tomorrow Is A Long Time was performed once by the Grateful Dead with Bob Dylan during the Dylan & The Dead tour in July 1987.

The song was first recorded by Bob Dylan in December 1962 for the Witmark publishing company. A working title used during these recording sessions was Lonesome Would Mean Nothing To Me.

Some Dylan scholars have suggested a link between this song and the 16th century English song Westron Winde, also known as O Western Wind. The link is based on the similarity of a couple of lines of the lyrics.
