Lyrics
Travelers in Time
When I was a young man about the age of 23
I came across a blind man playing music in the street
he played guitar and sang his songs in the sweet southern heat
and people threw there money down and swayed to the bluesy beat.
His songs were telling stores of the worlds that he had known
The pain that life had dealt him and the pleasures he'd been shown
of all that life had taught him from the lows up to the highs
just to bring him right back home to the smoky city nights
so take me down the river and let the current flow
let my life unfold like an old time picture show
You'll never know whats around the bend until you have arrived
when you find the things that bring you joy and make you feel alive
when I was an older man about the age of 63
I came across a young man playing music in the street
he sang of love and battles and castles in the dark
and slaying every dragon with an arrow though it's heart
so take me down the river and let the current flow
let my life unfold like an old time picture show
you'll never know what's around the bend until I have arrived
when you find the things that bring you joy and make you feel alive
but in the end it all comes clear were just travelers in time
