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 |
