A Million Years
Maybe I'd like to live a million years
See the sights I never dreamt at all I'd see before
And maybe I'd like to dream a million dreams
And spend the days and nights
Just drowning in a sea of awe
Dreaming about the whys of yesterday
But never getting nowhere if you think that way
Dreaming that someday they will understand
That I've been touring round the world
Just deemed to lead a one man band
I don't think I'd like to live a million years
It's too ordinary
Just give me an hour of life with you
Maybe I'd like to sing a million songs
And sing of hows and whys
And goods and bads and rights and wrongs
And maybe I'll fall back on my ten ton tones
And songs like this
So meaningless right to their very bones
Dreaming of rainbows and my petulance
Is nothing I don't receive the inference
That you will be with me at the very end
Just beating time together
With the pulse our hearts and minds will lend
I don't think I'd like to sing a million songs
It's too ordinary
Just give me an hour of life with you
I wouldn't care if a green baize pope should kill everyone
Apocalypses of snooker tables and demon balls
Ain't so bad
Just let me imagine a dream where we go to sleep
We can fulfil the pregnant pause
With ballads or a way back
Just give me time to tie the bootlace of my broken heart
And get out of this ground-down groove
I journeyed round the circle line
To pass the time I find that every minute that I spend without you's hollow
I'm through with making nightmare catalogues of alphabets
And asking why are people so unbound unto the charms of
Mr Satan who's a very nasty chappy and it always seems so worthless
And I can't think to save my life without abandoning my train to you
I can't but try to solve the poor enigma of my feelings
And my world view and my wisdom
And my madness and my love prose
Love grows inside me
And all the dreams and all the tears
And all the world and all the years
Can go to hell
I don't think I'd like to dream a million dreams
Just give me an hour of life with you
And I don't think I'd like to live a million years
Just give me an hour of life with you
See the sights I never dreamt at all I'd see before
And maybe I'd like to dream a million dreams
And spend the days and nights
Just drowning in a sea of awe
Dreaming about the whys of yesterday
But never getting nowhere if you think that way
Dreaming that someday they will understand
That I've been touring round the world
Just deemed to lead a one man band
I don't think I'd like to live a million years
It's too ordinary
Just give me an hour of life with you
Maybe I'd like to sing a million songs
And sing of hows and whys
And goods and bads and rights and wrongs
And maybe I'll fall back on my ten ton tones
And songs like this
So meaningless right to their very bones
Dreaming of rainbows and my petulance
Is nothing I don't receive the inference
That you will be with me at the very end
Just beating time together
With the pulse our hearts and minds will lend
I don't think I'd like to sing a million songs
It's too ordinary
Just give me an hour of life with you
I wouldn't care if a green baize pope should kill everyone
Apocalypses of snooker tables and demon balls

And all the world and all the years

I don't think I'd like to dream a million dreams
Just give me an hour of life with you
And I don't think I'd like to live a million years
Just give me an hour of life with you
