Anna Maria Jopek - A Thousand Years lyrics

rate me

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 milllion breaths

A million names but only one truth to face

(I still love you)

A million roads, a million fears

A million suns, ten 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 thouand times the mysteries unfold themselves

Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I maybe innocent

I may know many things, I may be ingnorant

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 theif

I’ve kept this single faith, this one belief

I still love you

I still want you

A thouand times the mysteries unfold themselves

Like galaxies in my head

On and on the mysteries unwind themselves

Eternities still unsaid

‘Til you love me
