I was a highwayman
Across the gold roads I did ride
With a sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
And many a soldier drew his last blood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I am still alive
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
With the sea I did abide
I sailed my schooner 'round the horn of Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
When the yards broke off and set the dock I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the old Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that grey tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around
And around and around and around and around and around and around
ย
I fly starship
Across the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Maybe I will become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again
And again and again and again and again and again and again
