A Thousand Years Lyrics
Day after day
I feel myself slowing down
What does it mean?
The air has changed
It's getting harder to breath
Or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
Tell me my friend
Can you imagine a place
Free of boundaries and lies
There's blood on the wind
And it's come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world
Where everything's fine
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years
[Instrumental break]
Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years
(Sail me away to a distant shore
where everything's fine)
I feel myself slowing down
What does it mean?
The air has changed
It's getting harder to breath
Or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
Can you imagine a place
Free of boundaries and lies
There's blood on the wind
And it's come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world
Where everything's fine
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years
Where everything's fine
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years
where everything's fine)

I think this about the world coming to an end pretty scary..but it's a great song...
I think it's about nuclear war. "The air has changed, it's not like it once used to be" could refer to it, fall-out, everything has changed and that everything was 'lost in the blink of an eye'. People died as the line "One day for every live" (refers to the thousand years) says. Very dark (but not atypical, as songs about war, nuclear war and the cold war were very popular in the 80's) but a good song.
