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…
