lyrics

The Thief
Words and Music by Roem Baur and Liam McCormick

Maybe in another life, she whispered soft to me
A place inside her heart, so short my love, so brief
She steals me like a thief
Silence in our gaze, so fleeting, so discreet
This moment left undone, untouched here, unrelieved
We hold quietly

I know that she’s leaving, my hands can’t grip what’s not mine
In these eyes, how she knows, I must go
Like a thief into the night

The things we’ve forgotten, and what we have taken
From moments we faced here and now, soft and sweet
Such remorse, now that I see

I know that I’m leaving, my heart can’t grip what’s not mine
In these eyes, now I know, I must go
Like a thief into the night

Up comes the dawn, a passing breath, a soft goodbye in silence
And though we must part, my darling somewhere, you’re mine

I know what I’m leaving, my heart has lost what’s not mine
In these eyes, we were pleading
We moved slow, into the night

Somewhere, constant and unwavering
Somewhere, I’m holding you in my arms
But here, here love I say
Goodbye, goodbye...
