Can Lyrics
"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
