Red Planet movie - A Thousand Years lyrics

rate me

Song by Sting<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<br>

<br>
