The Gaslight Anthem - 1,000 Years lyrics

With a moon I know in the town I live
Steady as she wait's
Seems as though she yearns for me
Calls me by my name
Sometimes she says, "come to me
Kiss me while it's late"
And other nights she's just
Hangin' with the stars

And I've seen her waitin' from
All her mistakes and
What if He never comes when you call?

And ayayay, ayayay, it’s alright she says
Once upon a time I lived the perfect night
Ayayay, ayayay, in another life she says
In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago

Don’t look back
I heard a voice in velvet I couldn't see
The pictures then were black and white
And the details were in between
I heard about a woman once who
Did everything ever asked of her
She died last week and her last words were
"It wasn’t worth it"

And I’ve seen her patience through
All her mistakes and
Who’s gonna save you now?

And ayayay, ayayay, it’s alright she says
Once upon a time I lived the perfect night
Ayayay, ayayay, in another life she says
In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago
And ayayay, ayayay, it’s alright she says
Once upon a time I lived the perfect night
Ayayay, ayayay, in another life she says
In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago
Ayayay, ayayay, it’s alright she says
Ayayay, ayayay, in another life she says

Way back when we became friends
I was you, you were my defense
Quiet was the night
You showed me that bridge and
It brought you home
You told me about it and I never let it go
And I guess I might have been doing the same
Anyhow, quiet was the night
