A Thousand Years

A thousand years, a thousand moreA thousand times a million doors to eternityI may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand timesAn 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 spaceI could shed another million tears, a million breaths, A million names but only one truth to faceA million roads, a million fearsA million suns, ten million years of uncertaintyI could speak a million lies, a million songs, A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of timeBut if there was a single truth, a single lightA single thought, a singular touch of graceThen following this single point , this single flame, The single haunted memory of your face I still love youI still want youA thousand times the mysteries unfold themselvesLike galaxies in my headI 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 landsOr 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 beliefI still love youI still want youA thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my headOn and on the mysteries unwind themselves Eternities still unsaid,Until you love me
