A Thousand Years - Sting

[ti:A Thousand Years]
[ar:Sting]
[offset:500]
[01:29.22]A thousand years, a thousand more,
[01:31.78]A thousand times a million doors to eternity
[01:39.84]I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
[01:43.36]An endless turning stairway climbs
[01:46.61]To a tower of souls
[01:52.14]If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
[01:55.51]The towers rise to numberless floors in space
[02:03.81]I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
[02:07.44]A million names but only one truth to face
[02:11.63]
[02:22.24]A million roads, a million fears
[02:24.71]A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
[02:32.82]I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
[02:36.34]A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
[02:44.42]But if there was a single truth, a single light
[02:47.97]A single thought, a singular touch of grace
[02:56.29]Then following this single point , this single flame,
[02:59.83]The single haunted memory of your face
[03:05.43]
[03:08.70]I still love you
[03:20.06]I still want you
[03:32.11]A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
[03:36.53]Like galaxies in my head
[03:39.22]
[03:56.23]I may be numberless, I may be innocent
[04:01.76]I may know many things, I may be ignorant
[04:07.73]Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
[04:13.44]Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
[04:19.41]I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
[04:25.17]Reborn as fortune’s child to judge another’s crimes
[04:31.08]Or wear this pilgrim’s cloak, or be a common thief
[04:36.75]I’ve kept this single faith, I have but one belief
[04:42.04]I still love you
[04:53.88]I still want you
[05:05.99]A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
[05:10.07]Like galaxies in my head
[05:13.22]
[05:18.06]On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
[05:21.89]Eternities still unsaid
[05:26.43]Till you love me
