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 of 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...
If I had to choose only one song out of all that I like to be my favorite, above all others, it would be this. Sting is such a talented songwriter. So many of his songs have such poetic, haunting lyrics, that pierce souls. We need more artists like him.
Lyrics..... 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, This 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 'Til you love me.....
A THOUSAND YEARS! So deeply words! A man was moving like the three girls behind Sting! he was shopping and I did the same in my shoppings! Feel the music is a gift and sublime! This song is the most highly cosmic! Look the fantastic surrealistic clip!
This is one of my absolute favorite songs. I feel so at peace while listening to it. For the longest time I would play this song every night while falling asleep and dream of someone who 'still loves me and still wants me'...I've now found that love.
I feel so depressed while listening to it it's beautiful and it's really strange that I'm replying a 15 years old comment back when I was a kid you wrote this
I was lucky to get tickets for his performance in Albert Hall some years ago. I couldn’t breathe, it was mesmerising and I had goosebumps even all over my head. It was indescribable
Love is eternal....We are Blessed to know this first hand and Mark and I are true companions. True Love never ends, my one and only love.... We are also Blessed with this creative artist that expresses the deepest beauty through his amazing music.
Куда это я?Или на глубину и в суть вещей,или вверх к звездам,чтобы после прыгнуть вниз и понять смысл.Мастеру с огромной благодарностью.И пусть победит Любовь...
One of my all time favorites by Sting and THE song I've cried most to..........good memories.....and bad ones....5***** for this beautiful performance by a GrEaT artist!!! DJR
This songs brings back the love I once had.. Great song ! I may be numberless, I may be innocent I may know many things, I may be ignorant... But I still love you... Simply amazing !
"A Thousand Years" "Một nghìn năm" A thousand years, a thousand more, Một nghìn năm, một nghìn năm nữa, A thousand times a million doors to eternity Một nghìn lần một triệu cánh cửa dẫn đến cõi vĩnh hằng I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times Tôi có thể đã sống một ngàn kiếp, một ngàn lần An endless turning stairway climbs Một cầu thang quay vô tận leo lên To a tower of souls Đến một tháp linh hồn If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars, Nếu phải mất một nghìn năm nữa, một nghìn cuộc chiến tranh, The towers rise to numberless floors in space Các tòa tháp tăng lên không số tầng trong không gian I could shed another million tears, a million breaths, Tôi có thể rơi một triệu giọt nước mắt khác, một triệu hơi thở, A million names but only one truth to face Một triệu cái tên nhưng chỉ có một sự thật phải đối mặt A million roads, a million fears Một triệu con đường, một triệu nỗi sợ hãi A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty Một triệu mặt trời, mười triệu năm bất định I could speak a million lies, a million songs, Tôi có thể nói một triệu lời nói dối, một triệu bài hát, A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time Một triệu quyền, một triệu sai trong thời gian cân bằng này But if there was a single truth, a single light Nhưng nếu chỉ có một sự thật, một ánh sáng duy nhất A single thought, a singular touch of grace Một suy nghĩ duy nhất, một nét duyên dáng đơn lẻ Then following this single point , this single flame, Sau đó, theo điểm duy nhất này, ngọn lửa duy nhất này, The single haunted memory of your face Ký ức ám ảnh duy nhất về khuôn mặt của Em I still love you anh vẫn yêu Em I still want you Tôi vẫn muốn Em A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Một ngàn lần những bí ẩn tự mở ra Like galaxies in my head Như những thiên hà trong đầu tôi I may be numberless, I may be innocent Tôi có thể vô số, tôi có thể vô tội I may know many things, I may be ignorant Tôi có thể biết nhiều điều, tôi có thể không biết gì Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands Hoặc tôi có thể cưỡi ngựa với các vị vua và chinh phục nhiều vùng đất Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands Hoặc chiến thắng thế giới này với những lá bài và để nó lọt vào tay tôi I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times Tôi có thể là thức ăn cho đại bác, bị tiêu diệt hàng nghìn lần Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes Tái sinh như đứa con của tài sản để phán xét tội ác của người khác Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief Hoặc mặc áo choàng của người hành hương này, hoặc là một tên trộm thông thường I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief Tôi đã giữ niềm tin duy nhất này, tôi chỉ có một niềm tin I still love you anh vẫn yêu Em I still want you Tôi vẫn muốn Em A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Một ngàn lần những bí ẩn tự mở ra Like galaxies in my head Như những thiên hà trong đầu tôi On and on the mysteries unwind themselves Về và về những bí ẩn tự mở ra Eternities still unsaid Các cộng đồng vẫn chưa được trả lời 'Til you love me cho đến khi En yêu Anh
I agree. So many people don't even listen to the lyrics of the songs they hear. Most of the people I know think, if it doesn't have a hip hop beat or someone screaming about how much life sucks or something, it's not worth listening to.
amazingly sting wrote the music first in regards to the album brand new day that a thousand years appears on.....he then went through the process of finding lyrical content for the music....for me its one of my fave albums....this track along with desert rose and ghost story are amazing tracks off the album
i noticed i didnt respond to this until i read everyone else's replies. sting can sing about buying groceries & it will make us all be in awe & he is so hot looking. trudie is truly a blessed woman & i think she knows that but i wish i was so blessed 2 b with this talented & awesome man
Perhaps writing the lyrics..in a palace of Maharaja..sting and friends thought perhaps mystically the words came to mind..I think yes indeed..but not from earth..not anyone ever on Earth💖✨
