Time-Traveler

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met a man the other day He said the strangest things He said that he lived at least a million years He's known beggars, thieves and kings He seemed like a nice enough fella So I began to speak my mind Said there's a lot of love lost At too high a cost and there's So much we can't find [Chorus] And I'm tellin' my troubles to a time-traveler Lord, I need a friend I asked him what he's seen And if all of my dreams Were bound to come to an end (Hе's been) ten times 'round the univеrse (And) ten times back again So I'm tellin' my troubles to a time-traveler Lord, I need a friend [Verse 2] He said that he comes to visit here Every few years or so At times he wonders why he keeps comin' back Things haven't changed much you know But we agreed that we've traded horses for wheels And smoke for the telephone There are more of us now than ever before But why do we seem so alone [Chorus] And I'm tellin' my troubles to a time-traveler Lord, I need a friend I asked him what he's seen And if all of my dreams Were bound to come to an end (He's been) ten times 'round the universe (And) ten times back again So I'm tellin' my troubles to a time-traveler Lord, I need a friend [Bridge] Is it all a dream And will I wake up screamin' in the night? Or will it be alright? [Verse 3] I met a man the other day Then he had to go And tho' I wanted him to take me along His parting smile said "no" And now that I'm thinkin' it over I know tryin' is all you can do Cause there's no man made Who's not a little bit afraid Somehow you gotta see it through [Chorus] And I'm tellin' my troubles to a time-traveler Lord, I need a friend I asked him what he's seen And if all of my dreams Were bound to come to an end (He's been) ten times 'round the universe (And) ten times back again So I'm tellin' my troubles to a time-traveler Lord, I need a friend
