Lyrics One Thousand Nights - High Spirits

One Thousand Nights

One night, no limits
Got what it takes to win
One shot from a golden rifle
Then I’m going in
One key, one coward
Up to the top of the tower
To my surprise it was empty
Nothing there at all
Still I ran like a wicked man
Down through the backstreets, yeah
Bad step, wrong rhythm
Not what it seemed to be
Bad luck and pure excitement
Make my getaway
Don’t stop, keep running
Somebody knew I was coming
Nowhere to hide, this was trouble
Fate was closing in
Put up my hands like a guilty man
And I told them, I said
Just take me in
One thousand nights I wait
Left out and locked away
One thousand nights for my mistake
One thousand nights from home
Because I should have known
One thousand nights I spend alone
Now there’s nothing I can do
All the things they said are true
I did it all for you
And I would do it again
One night, no limits
Now I’m in chains again
Don’t cry, it’s not forever
Can’t keep me away
When you see the sun start setting
One of these nights, I will find you
Find you safe again
And lay my head where no one can
So when I see you I’ll say
Just take me in
One thousand nights I wait
Left out and locked away
One thousand nights for my mistake
One thousand nights from home
Because I should have known
One thousand nights I spend alone
