The closest you've ever come to me
Was to help me up the stairs
You stood in the middle of the stairway
You nearly dragged me up the stairs
"Well, you've been asleep"
"Well, I've been asleep for how long?" she says
"Ooh, why do you question me?"
He says, "You never cared about time before, my friend"

It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone
It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone

Well you're not my friеnd, well you're not my love
And this is somеthing that we really don't discuss
If there is no time and there is no place
And if there was, well, you'd never leave a trace
And as all arch angels do to you
And as all arch enemies will finally do to you, too
Well, I found you

It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone
It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone
It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone
It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone

Quiet now, songbird, just for one night
Well, I know that you love to sing
And, oh baby, well, I know that you love to write
Well, you live by the light of the moon
And I live by light of desire
Ooh, such words to her over the phone
"Just how many people are there with you now?"
A thousand days, a thousand days

Ooh, well, I can see the trouble
Well, the sun is here today now
And I requested a storm
But I like some kind of TIME/LIFE edition
Tradition, competition
Being the only thing
That I really have to remember
The great singers and the great players

And if the sun warms up the rain
And the rain puts out the sun
Why does the greatest love become the greatest pain?
A thousand days

(It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone)
Well, where are you? Sometimes I hear you crying
(It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone)
And I wake up, and still I wake up crying
(It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone)
It seems like a thousand days
(It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone)
So, where are you? Where are you?
(It seems like a thousand days since you've been gone)
