[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I'm a time traveler
Making my way across the sky
I was lost and found in your eyes
A time traveler tonight
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I'm a time traveler
Making my way across the sky
I was lost and found in your eyes
A time traveler tonight
[Verse 3]
I was a shipyard brat
Fighting over empty cans
It was a mercenary life
I was a magician
A master at sleight of hand
Bending the rules of space and time
[Chorus]
I'm a time traveler
Making my way across the sky
I was lost and found in your eyes
A time traveler tonight
