Thief

Why must I be the thief Why must I be the thief Oh Lord, please won't you tell me Why must I be the thief Why must I be the thief Please said today a man And how come you're the only one Who's beggaring, who always stays? Why must I be the thief But I stop the hanging man How come you're the only one Living by the open hand? Now why must I be the thief Why must I be the thief You cursed the butterfly And the holy man who bowed his head Looked the Arctic height The thief tried that cross To shed the other's face But the Jesus man said nœot now I'd rather not now, it's far too late Far too late, far too late Far too late, far too late Far too late, far too late Far too late Do what you must Take what you can Steer the part of every heart Every elder man, every elder man Every elder man I'm the thief, I am the thief And you're my heart, yes, and you're my heart But I got you then, yes I will 'Cause you're, '€˜cause I missed just your flight Just your flight Fly, fly, fly, fly Fly, fly, fly, fly I'll get you late ‘cause it's just goodbye I'll get you late, it's just goodbye I'll get you late, it's just goodbye
