1,000 Years

On the other side of the hill
Lives a girl
Writing a love song
She hopes her lover
Will soon hear
Eyes that color
Changing with her mood
Sitting alone to ponder
Will he even recognize her

Just the other day
His heart skipped a beat
A melody
Faint
Flitting and fleet

1,000 years
Almost to the day
Two young lovers
Forced to part their way

Before he left her
Standing on that
Craggily cliff
He bent down
Kissed her softly on the cheek
Whispering a promise
So true
So sweet
"1,000 times a lifetime
I'll hear your song.  I'll
find you before your day
becomes too long."
