I was an emperor, I was an honest man I was a freedom fighter hoping you'd understand I was an English lord ruling a distant land I was the evening sun before your life began
I'm a time traveler Making my way across the sky I was lost and found in your eyes A time traveler tonight
I was an Egyptian laying down a house of sand With golden faces everywhere I was a nameless soul rowing on a Spanish boat With revolution in the air
I'm a time traveler Making my way across the sky I was lost and found in your eyes A time traveler tonight
I was a shipyard brat fighting over empty cans It was a mercenary life I was a magician, a master of slight of hand Bending the rules of space and time
I'm a time traveler Making my way across the sky I was lost and found in your eyes A time traveler tonight
