a thousand years

king of pain, message in a bottle, every little thing she does is magic gibi şarkıların aksine insanı başka bir yana koyan parça; melodisi ile bir bakmışsınız sizi, endonezya’ya oradan hindistan’a, birden alıp da misir’a oradan da ingiltere’ye sürükleyip, sonradan da, bitti mi rüyadan, uyanmanıza sebebiyet verebilen nadir şarkılarından birisi, yegane karizma melodinin döndüğü, büyüleyici sting parçası, shape of my heart ile birlikte en sevdiğim sting parçası.

tabii ki, fragile ’ı da unutmamak gerek...

sözlerini de yazalım da, bir yanı eksik kalmasın;

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
till you love me
