A Thousand Years
(专辑: Brand New Day - 1999)
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 and 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 cloak, or be a
common thief I've kept this single faith, I
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 'Til you love me
