My Thief Lyrics
When I go to sleep you become my thiefWhy don't you steal what you can keep?But you won't let me beYou sneak into my dreams and every day seems differentSometimes I pretend you'll come back again and you'll console the heartyou stoleHave pity on the man who knows that you have gone and has begun to breakdownI feel almost possessedSo long as I don't lose this glorious distressThen you can take all I have leftI know it's overIf you can't be my lover, be my thiefI'm so drowsy nowI'll unlock the doorWhat fades in time will hurt much moreSo here's that happy scene where you come back to meIt's only found in fictionI didn't lead you on but there will always be a little larceny ineveryoneSo hush and don't you cryI'm trying to be kind because I have a perfect alibi
