A Thousand Years (Sunrise Vocal Mix)

A Thousand Years

Words by Sting music by Sting and Kipper

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

A mim vêm os mais gritos e ais fados fatais

Com os sabores eternos da saudade

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

Minha alma vive mais varria mais vazia

Neste espaço de sol posto

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

All messages have been received

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

'Til you love me

All messages have been received
