Thousand Days Lyrics - Stevie Nicks

The closest you've ever come to me 

Was to help me up the stairs 

You stood in the middle of the stairway 

You nearly dragged me up the stairs 

"You've been asleep." 

"Well, I've been asleep for how long?" she says 

"Why do you question me?" 

He says, "You never cared about time before, my friend." 

Seems like a thousand days since you've been gone... 

Seems like a thousand days since you've been gone... 

You're not my friend, you're not my love 

And this is something that we really don't discuss 

If there is no time, and there is no place. 

And, if there was, well, you'd never leave a trace 

And as all arch angels do to you 

And as all arch enemies will finally do to you, too 

Well, I found you 

Quiet now, songbird, just for one night 

Well, I know that you love to sing 

And, oh baby, well, I know that you love to write 

You live by the light of the moon 

and I live by light of desire 

Ooh, such words to her over the phone 

"Just how many people are there with you now" 

Well, I can see the trouble 

The sun is here today and I requested a storm 

But I like some kind of TIME/LIFE edition, 

Tradition, competition... 

Being the only thing that I really have to remember 

The great singers and the great players 

And if the sun warms up the rain, 

And the rain puts out the sun 

Why does the greatest love become the greatest pain? 

So, where are you? 

Sometimes I hear you crying 

and I wake up, and still I wake up crying 

Well, he is on my mind.he's everywhere 

And if he followed me home, 

will the sound of both of our voices simply disappear? 

Well, I miss you now... 

He laughs 

He has an attitude so I have an attitude, too 

He knocks on the door next to the courtyard 

Well, he frightens me so, I let him in 

But I'm already, well, I'm already screaming 

How can the greatest love come from the greatest pain?
