Day after day, I feel myself slowing down, what does it mean?
The air has changed, it’s getting harder to breathe, or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything’s fine
Chorus:
A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin’, the world will come tumblin’ down
In a thousand years
Tell me my friend, can you imagine a place free of boundaries and lies
There’s blood on the wind and it’s come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world where everything’s fine
Chorus
A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we’ll find you a home underground, in a thousand years
(Instrumental break)
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything’s fine
Chorus
A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we’ll find you a home underground, in a thousand years
He never felt that she cared
Turning to leave
Feeling her lonely stare
If only a secret love
Left more than a broken heart
Like a fool thinks he felt the start
Of what he hoped for so long
He waits though he knows she’s gone
Alone he climbs
Until he falls
Only a secret love brings more than a broken heart
Like a fool I have played the part
Of what I hoped for so long
The need to belong…
In love
I don’t want to know the reason why you don’t love me
I don’t want to know the reason why you don’t care
I don’t want to know the reason why you’re leavin’ me
I’m not the only one that lost my love way down there – way down there
I don’t want to hear the reason why you don’t need me
I don’t want to hear the reason why you don’t stay
I don’t want to hear the reason why you’re seeing him
All I know is that I want you back, but you’re
A million miles away and it’s killin’ me inside
There’s a stranger in a carriage and he’s takin’ her out tonight
The devil’s ridin’ on a full moon and he sends his love
When I’m a million miles away
(Instrumental break)
I don’t want to be the reason why you don’t love me
And I don’t want to be the reason why you don’t care
I don’t want to be the reason why you’re leavin’ me
I’m not the only one that lost my love
A million miles away and it’s killin’ me inside
There’s a stranger in a carriage and he’s takin’ her out tonight
The devil’s ridin’ on a full moon and he sends his love
When I’m a million miles away
He sends his love and I’m a hundred million miles away
99
I’ve been waiting so long
Oh 99
Where did we go wrong
Oh 99
I love you
99
I keep breaking your heart
Oh 99
How can we be apart
Oh 99
I love you
I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don’t want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you 99
99
You keep holding my hand
Oh 99
They don’t know who i am
Oh 99
I love you
I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don’t want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you 99
99
I can’t take it no more
Oh 99
Oh we were so sure
Oh 99
I love you
I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don’t want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you 99
There’s something I must say
Something I must do
I planned it all this way
Designed it just for you
Do you wanna be with me
Be with me at all?
Do you have to be so cool
Your gentle touch manoeuvered me
But all the time I always knew
(Chorus:)
I’m really mad about you
There’s nothing bad about our love
I’m giving you the only heart I have
But I’m afraid tonight it won’t be enough
Can we go on this way?
There’s nothing left to proof
It’s not another game
Or another simple move
Do you believe in me
Believe in me at all?
Are you telling me the truth?
Or is it just imagination or the perfect dream
That I’m here with you
(Chorus)
(Instrumental break)
Do you wanna be with me
Be with me at all?
Do you have to be so cool
Your gentle touch manoeuvered me
But all the time I always knew
I’m really mad about you
There’s nothing bad about our love
I’m giving you the only heart I have
But I’m afraid tonight it won’t be enough
I’m really mad about you
There’s nothing bad about our love
I never had a broken heart before
But I know you’ll never tear
Tear mine apart
Feel the heat – in the street
Find out what your people are sayin’
Feel the heat – in the street
Find out what the people are sayin’
‘Bout you! Yeh you
Friends you keep – lie and cheat
Makin’ rules for games that they’re playin’
When you meet – on the street
You find out all along they’re playin’
Me against you
Bridge:
I don’t care what they say about me
I’ve heard that all before
Just make this one exception
Give me your affection
Listen to your heart for what you need
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Feel the heat – in the street
You’re the one that keeps the boys dreamin’
If you feel the need – come to me
Or you may find what’s on your mind
May come true
Bridge:
I can tell by the look in your eyes
There’s a fear deep inside
In spite of my arrival
The key to your survival
Is hidden in your dreams and desires
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
(Instrumental brake)
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
