A Thousand Years lyrics

Artist  : Sting 
Song : A Thousand Years
 
Words by sting, music by sting and kipper

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
