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
