It's a thousand year old song
A thousand years and it goes on
Promises of many kinds
Given all so many times

It's a thousand year old song
A thousand lines to sing a long
A thousand verses to hold on
It's a thousand year old song

----
It's a thousand year old song
Of a love story gone wrong
I've been tryin' to bite my tongue
But I must sing it....
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
----

It's a thousand year old song
For all those who walk alone
It reminds you of the pain
Someone calls your lovers name

It's a thousand year old song
And no change is gonna come
Though it's always been the same
I had to write it down again
Again

(Refrain)
