    Story Behind the Song
    “A Thousand Lifetimes” is about reincarnation and the search for true love – and the subsequent loss of love due to a lack of awareness, or even circumstances beyond our control. This song also confirms for me, past lives I believed I’ve had, as a knight (or someone close to that profession), as a cowboy (or thereabouts), and, in an original, now deleted, 2nd verse, as an Allied fighter pilot in WWII. When I originally wrote this, I was sick with the flu and sang it 2 - steps lower, which, once I recovered, I couldn’t even reach vocally.

    Lyrics
    I could have been a knight in shining armor sitting on a steed
    Riding off into distant lands in the name of the Queen
    And you could have been that damsel in distress I saved
    But when we got back you ran off before I could ask you to stay

    And I have lived a Thousand Lifetimes
    And I have died a thousand deaths
    And each time I loved you

    I could have been a cowboy making my way across the Wild West
    Peacemaker by my side ready to find out who’s the best
    And you could have been that fair-haired girl who caught my eye
    But like the sun you blinded me and I drew too slow and I died

    And I have lived a Thousand Lifetimes
    And I have died a thousand deaths
    And each time your name was my last breath
    And I have seen a thousand visions
    Woke up from a thousand dreams
    And each time I loved you

    An air of familiarity holds me within
    Like a ghost walking through me I can feel you on my skin

    You could have been that girl who tried to win my love
    Turned away at the breaking point when push came to shove
    And I must have been that fool who did not understand
    And let you walk away, you slipped right through my hands

    And I have lived a Thousand Lifetimes
    And I have died a thousand deaths
    And each time your name was my last breath
    And I have seen a thousand visions
    Woke up to a thousand dreams
    And each time I loved you
    And I have seen a thousand visions
    Woke up to a thousand dreams
    And each time I loved you… You know I loved you… You know I loved you…
