1,000 Years

Well the moon I know in the town I live, steady as she waits

Seems as though she yearns for me, calls me by my name

Sometimes she says come to me, kiss me while it's late

And other nights she's just hangin' with the stars

And I've seen her waiting from all her mistakes

And, what if he never comes when you call?

And ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, "It's alright" she says

Once upon a time I lived a perfect night

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay in another life she says

In a dream of mine from 1000 years ago

"Don't look back" I heard a voice, in velvet I couldn't see

The pictures then were black and white, and the details were in-between

I heard about a woman once, who did everything ever asked of her

She died last week and her last words were

"It wasn't worth it"

And I've seen her patience through all her mistakes

And, who's gonna save you now?

And ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, "It's alright" she says

Once upon a time I lived a perfect night

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, in another life she says

In a dream of mine from 1000 years ago

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, "It's alright" she says

Once upon a time I lived a perfect night

Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, in another life she says

In a dream of mine from 1000 years ago

(Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, "It's alright" she says)

(Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, in another life she says)

Way back when, when we became friends

I was you, you were my defense

And quiet was the night

You showed me that bridge and it brought you home

You told me about it, and I never let it go

And I guess I might've been doing the same

Anyhow, quiet was the night
