Jimmy Webb

I'll fly a starship, across the universe divine, And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain, and I'll be back again And again, and again, and again.

Jimmy Webb
