*this melody played throughout verses
thousand years, a thousand more
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
Bbsus2Db
million names but only one true face
million roads, a million fears
million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs
million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point, this single flame
This single haunted memory of your face
I still love you,
I still want you
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
thousand times these mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
'Till you love me
