lyrics

"When I was younger long ago
There were many girls I loved
Then you came to me and, lo,
I let the others go

Then slowly something came to me
I was never really free
Since the day I uttered me
And you were meant to be

A thousand days
And a thousand nights
Three years I’ve waited for your call
And in the morning
When the church bells chime
I wish their ringing was your call

Three years I’ve waited for your call
Three years I’ve waited for your call
Three years I’ve waited for your call
Three years I’ve waited for your

I’ve been so lonely for so long
Now I see that I was wrong
To pursue you for so long
And you and you alone

I see a clearing up ahead
Else I’d leave myself for dead
In these trials where I’ve tread
And, love, you know I’ve bled.

Girl, when I met you I was lost
And you know I’ve paid the cost
Now my chains I’ve all but tossed
So take me off your cross

Now I shall spread my weary wings,
Fly out over everything,
Searching for a destiny,
For what is meant to be

A thousand days
And a heartbeat more
I’ve wasted waiting for your call
And now it’s over
I’m moving on
But I still long to see you call

Three years I’ve waited for your call
Three years I’ve waited for your call
And when I shout it to the hills
You’ll know I’m waiting for you still"
