I was walking alone by the river
when a cold wind blew and made me shiver
there was something in the air that autumn night
I saw her crying alone by the river
talking to herself, asking someone to forgive her
there was something in her eyes that wasn't right
Suddenly she sighed and she said to me
"Will you kiss away my tears?
I've been waiting for you for a thousand years"
I remember the sweetest taste
as I kissed every tear on her pretty face
the scent of her perfume lingered in her hair
I remember soft satin and lace
as she held me close in a loving embrace
it felt as if there was magic in the air
Suddenly she sighed and she said to me
"Will you kiss away my fears?
I've been waiting for love for a thousand years"
I remember waking up by the river
when a cold wind blew and made me shiver
there was not a trace of her anywhere in sight
I started walking alone by the river
talking to myself, trying to forgive her
for leaving me alone here in the light
Suddenly I recalled what she said to me
"All is not as it appears"
Now I'll be waiting for her for a thousand years
for a thousand years
for a thousand years
for a thousand years
