the greeks sing of a spartan king who sent ten thousand men.
and started a war for helen of troy who’d been taken from him.
well i do not have ten thousand men, no i don’t have much at all.
but for you girl, i’d stand against the world, alone, but i’d stand tall.
because i desire you
i’m on fire for you
once i was told a story so old, of a cold war moscow man,
who could not see his wife for most of life, a russian government ban,
60 years passed, their love it did last, finally they met again,
nothing had changed, the passion remained, stronger than when began.
i guess what i’m trying to make clear
is i would wait a thousand years.
