a thousand years, a thousand more,
a 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,
a million names but only one truth to face
a million roads, a million fears
a million suns, ten million years of
uncertainty
i could speak a million lies, a million
songs,
a million rights, a million wrongs in this
balance of time
but if there was a single truth, a single
light
a single thought, a singular touch of grace
then following this single point , this
single flame,
the single haunted memory of your face
i still love you
i still want you
a 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
a thousand times the mysteries unfold
themselves
like galaxies in my head
on and on the mysteries unwind themselves
eternities still unsaid
