lyrics

I’ve got ten thousand years for you to know
and the last of them, I’ll be taking to my grave

First thousand came when I was born
It was all I knew of love, there were no shadows yet above me
Second thousand came on like a drug
It’s where I formed my little bones into a picture I had seen of you
Third thousand came on spinning like demons
It’s where I learned what people could do to you

I’ve got ten thousand years for you to know
and the last of them, I’ll be taking to my grave

Fourth came I loved another one
My TV screen blew up and I learned how to run
Rest of those years were fight and fun,
just learning how to be that ten thousand and one

Hey baby, hey
Hold your head up high
Don’t matter what they say, you’ll turn out alright
Hey baby, hey
Hold your head up high
Don’t matter what they say, you’ll turn out alright

I’ve got ten thousand years for you to know
and the last of them, I’ll be taking to my grave
Ten thousand years for you to know
and the last of them, I’ll be taking to my grave
