Nine Hundred And Ninety Nine Lyrics

[Verse: Marilisa Valtazanou]
Nine hundred and ninety-nine nights
Forty-two turns of the moon
I knew then that one night the well would run dry
I know now that night will come soon:

[Verse: Mich Sampson]
Nine hundred and ninety-nine nights
Tonight, and tomorrow, and then
I'll see the moon rise for the third and last time
As my spool of tales comes to its end

[Chorus: Marilisa]
Only three left and there's power in threes
In the stories I tell, there's never a doubt
That the third one is different, the third one has magic
But what will I do, where will I be
What will become of me, when the stories run out?

[Verse: Mich & Marilisa]
Nine hundred and ninety-nine nights
Three summers, three springs and two falls
The long endless nights of three frozen winters
And those were the hardest of all

[Verse: Mich & Marilisa]
Nine hundred and ninety-nine nights
Too spellbound to touch me at first
I told him the tale of the faithful young daughter
Who knew that her marriage was cursed

[Chorus: Marilisa]
Only three left and there's power in threes In the stories I tell, there's never a doubt
That the third one is different, the third one has magic
But what will I do, where will I be
What will become of me, when the stories run out?

[Bridge: Mich, Marilisa]
Three hundred and five when my firstborn arrived
That night was the tale of the morning star rising at dawn
Six hundred and twenty - my second son came:
I told of the tale of the moon ever chasing the sun
Nine hundred and seven - the smallest of three:
That night came the noble adventure of three brothers brave
He sleeps at my breast, but there's power in threes
And who knows what this third one might save?

[Verse: Marilisa]
Nine hundred and ninety-nine nights
The fear with each story's last breath
Was this tale as good as the ones gone before it
Enough still to keep me from death?

[Verse/Outro: Marilisa]
Nine hundred and ninety-nine nights
Three silver coins left still to spend
The last one's the tale of the girl who told stories
And who knows how this one will end?
