STING - A Thousand Years lyrics

rate me

Words by sting, music by sting and kipper<br><br>A thousand years, a thousand more,<br>A thousand times a million doors to eternity<br>I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times<br>An endless turning stairway climbs<br>To a tower of souls<br>If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,<br>The towers rise to numberless floors in space<br>I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,<br>A million names but only one truth to face<br><br>A million roads, a million fears<br>A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty<br>I could speak a million lies, a million songs,<br>A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time<br>But if there was a single truth, a single light<br>A single thought, a singular touch of grace<br>Then following this single point , this single flame,<br>The single haunted memory of your face<br><br>I still love you<br>I still want you<br>A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves<br>Like galaxies in my head<br><br>I may be numberless, I may be innocent<br>I may know many things, I may be ignorant<br>Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands<br>Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands<br>I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times<br>Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes<br>Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief<br>I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief<br><br>I still love you<br>I still want you<br>A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves<br>Like galaxies in my head<br>On and on the mysteries unwind themselves<br>Eternities still unsaid<br>'til you love me
