Thousand Years Songtext
von Sting

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
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
This 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

On and on, the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
′Til you love me
