A Thousand Years Lyrics

A thousand years,

a thousand more

A thousand times

A million doors to eternity

I may have lived a thousand lives

A thousand times

An endless turning stairway climbs to a tower of souls

If it takes another thousand years

A thousand wars

the towers rise

To numberless floors in space

I could shed another million tears

A million breaths

A million names

But only one truth to face

A million roads,

a million fears

A million suns

Ten million years of uncertainty

I could speak a million lies

A million songs,

a million rights

A million wrongs in this balance of time

But if there was a single truth

A single light

A single thought

A singular touch of grace

Then following this single point

This single flame

The single haunted memory of your face

I still love you

I still want you

A thousand times

The mysteries unfold themselves

Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless

I may be innocent

I may know many things

I may be ignorant

Or I could ride with kings

And conquer many lands

Or win this world at cards & let it slip my hands

I could be cannon food

Destroyed a thousand times

Reborn as fortune's child

To judge another's crimes

Or wear this pilgrim's clough

Or be a common thief

I've kept this single faithI have but one belief

I still love you

I still want you

A thousand times

The mysteries unfold themselves

Like galaxies in my head

On and on the mysteries unwind themselves

Eternities still unsaid

Till you

Love me
