I was a highwayman along the coach roads i did ride with sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five but i am still alive.

I was a sailor. i was born upon the tide and with the sea i did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the horn to mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that 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 wild colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But i am still around i will always be around

I fly a starship across the universe divide and when i reach the other side
I will find a place to rest my spirit if i can perhaps i may become a highwayman again
Or i may simply be a single drop of rain but i will remain and i will be back again
