The Gaslight Anthem - 1,000 Years lyrics

[Verse 1] With a moon I know in the town I live, steady as she waits 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] And I've seen her waitin' from all her mistakes and What if He never comes when you call? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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" [Pre-Chorus 2] And I've seen her patience through all her mistakes and Who's gonna save you now? [Chorus] 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, it's alright she says [Verse 3] 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
