Room a Thousand Years Wide Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Listen, hear, he is inside
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine
Hey
[Verse 2]
It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine
[Chorus]
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow, oh
[Verse 3]
A thousand doors, a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
I walk in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin
[Chorus]
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Listen, hear, he is inside
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine
Hey
[Verse 2]
It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine
[Chorus]
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow, oh
[Verse 3]
A thousand doors, a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
I walk in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin
[Chorus]
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
