I was a highwayman
On the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Em * D * A * G *
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive.
I was a sailor
And I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
Em * D * A * G *
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I'm living still.
I was a dam builder
Across this river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
Em * D * A * G *
Then they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around
I flew a starship
Across the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
Em * D * A * G *
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
