Lyrics

[01:28.72] A thousand years, a thousand more,
[01:31.28] A thousand times a million doors to eternity
[01:39.34] I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
[01:42.86] An endless turning stairway climbs
[01:46.11] To a tower of souls
[01:51.64] If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
[01:55.01] The towers rise to numberless floors in space
[02:03.31] I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
[02:06.94] A million names but only one truth to face
[02:11.13]
[02:21.74] A million roads, a million fears
[02:24.21] A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
[02:32.32] I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
[02:35.84] A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
[02:43.92] But if there was a single truth, a single light
[02:47.47] A single thought, a singular touch of grace
[02:55.79] Then following this single point , this single flame,
[02:59.33] The single haunted memory of your face
[03:04.93]
[03:08.20] I still love you
[03:19.56] I still want you
[03:31.61] A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
[03:36.03] Like galaxies in my head
[03:38.72]
[03:55.73] I may be numberless, I may be innocent
[04:01.26] I may know many things, I may be ignorant
[04:07.23] Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
[04:12.94] Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
[04:18.91] I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
[04:24.67] Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
[04:30.58] Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
[04:36.25] I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief
[04:41.54] I still love you
[04:53.38] I still want you
[05:05.49] A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
[05:09.57] Like galaxies in my head
[05:12.72]
[05:17.56] On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
[05:21.39] Eternities still unsaid
[05:25.93] Till you love me
