I have lived a thousand years, but have I known love.
Taken from the history books I tried to figure it, but I don't know.
It's a shame we had to part, but we pulled ourselves apart long ago
I have lived a thousand years, what do I know

Floating on the riverboat I watch the towns pass as I move on
Electric eye into the future and this I know the future seems to always come
It's a game we try so hard, if we change the past it might leave us alone
Floating on the riverboat a hundred years pass so slow

Move me to the west, Colorado passed it up for gold
Now I’m digging holes, six feet under mining for my soul.
It’s a shame we try so hard, if you blame yourself you don’t have far to go.
A mirror to my soul, I pointed blame until I struck gold.

I have lived a thousand years, have I no one?
Traveled every coast, looking for a ghost, found only one
Yes you were in the pyramids, the riverbeds, the mountains I called home
I have lived a thousand years, you’re all I know
