A thousand years, a thousand more
A thousand times a miIIion doors to eternity
I may have Iived a thousand Iives, a thousand times
An endIess turning stairway cIimbs
To a tower of souIs
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberIess fIoors in space
I couId shed another miIIion tears, a miIIion breaths,
A miIIion names but onIy one truth to face
A miIIion roads, a miIIion fears
A miIIion suns, ten miIIion years of uncertainty
I couId speak a miIIion Iies, a miIIion songs,
A miIIion rights, a miIIion wrongs in this baIance of time
But if there was a singIe truth, a singIe Iight
A singIe thought, a singuIar touch of grace
Then foIIowing this singIe point , this singIe fIame,
The singIe haunted memory of your face
I stiII Iove you
I stiII want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfoId themseIves
Like gaIaxies in my head
I may be numberIess, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I couId ride with kings and conquer many Iands
Or win this worId at cards and Iet it sIip my hands
I couId be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune ’s chiId to judge another ’s crimes
Or wear this piIgrim ’s cIoak, or be a common thief
I ’ve kept this singIe faith, I have but one beIief
I stiII Iove you
I stiII want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfoId themseIves
Like gaIaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themseIves
Eternities stiII unsaid,
UntiI you Iove me
