1,000 Lyrics

I don't know but I've been told

1,000 lives will surely fold behind me

Named and loved and in this way

1,000 things and people brought to light today

Children trudging through a side blown December wind

Peeling back the sticky heat from summer rain-soaked skin

Golden Wilma in my hands like lemons in the spring

Autumn leaves stacked in the lot and the spines left in our things

Here you stand

Before me now

I see the light in you of many forms

A child, a boy, a man

Time is long

Time is short

Every minute more means that there's one less than before

Time moves on

I don't know but I've been told

1,000 lives will surely fold behind me

Name and loved and in this way

1,000 things and people brought to light today

A letter in the mail when I won't be home til spring

A January moon pinned between the centre rings

A mouth on yours, a hand on mine, the ending of the day

The bronze light in your hair with the summer on your face

Are you real

Am I here enough to feel

I know sometimes the days are short

Can't be stuck inside a wheel

Am I too late

Am I right on time

I want to be everything I can for you

Feel all the love I find

Give me time

I don't want nobody but you

See my mind's always stuck in a groove

Wake me up 'cause I'm acting a fool

And you're my jewel

Make me brand new
