For A Thousand Days

Danny Peck


How can this be 
Why does the light 
Shine on your face just right 
Why are your eyes still laughing for me 

Your closet's full 
So why don't you let go everything 
Darlin' these songs I sing 
Speak to a love that's living inside 

For a thousand days and nights 
I stood outside your door 
Watchin' the shades pull down 
Til I couldn't watch no more 
Runnin' under a willow tree 
That followed me when the moon was hidin' 
And only light I saw 
Was the candle burnin' by your bed 

So how can this be 
Why does the wind 
Carry the scent of your skin 
Tell me how did this ever begin 

For a thousand days and nights 
For a thousand days 
For a thousand days and nights 
For a thousand days 
For a thousand days and nights 
I waited on the words 
Silence hung around my head 
Cryin' like a flock of birds 
Waitin' for the sweetest dream 
That always left me hungry 
Lookin' back I guess it seems 
You never really loved me 

Love like wine 
Sweeter in time 
It's a love so fine 
Gonna lose my mind 
Cuz I'm still so blind in love 

It makes no sense 
Still somehow I believe 
Even a heart in chains 
Still holds onto the love that remains 

For a thousand days and nights 
For a thousand days 
For a thousand days and nights 
For a thousand days 
For a thousand days and nights 
For a thousand days 

Love like wine 
Sweeter in time 
It's a love so fine 
Gonna lose my mind 
Cuz I'm still so blind in love 

How can this be 
Why does the light
