My Thief by Burt Bacharach

My Thief Lyrics

edit | print 
When I go to sleep you become my thief
Why dont you steal what you can keep?
But you wont let me be
You sneak into my dreams and every day seems different
Sometimes I pretend youll come back again and youll console the heart
You stole
Have pity on the man who knows that you have gone and has begun to break
Down
I feel almost possessed
So long as I dont lose this glorious distress
Then you can take all I have left
I know its over
If you cant be my lover, be my thief
Im so drowsy now
Ill unlock the door
What fades in time will hurt much more
So heres that happy scene where you come back to me
Its only found in fiction
I didnt lead you on but there will always be a little larceny in
Everyone
So hush and dont you cry
Im trying to be kind because I have a perfect alibi
Love this song? Put this box on your blog!
