Elton John - Steal Away Child Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by gary osborneReleased as a uk b-side in 1980Steal away child into your dreamsWhere nothing is ever the way that it seemsI gave you your life, you gave me your trustIve no wish to hurt you but hurt you I mustSteal away child, turn down your lightSteal away into the nightSteal away child to the land of the liesWhere love lasts forever and hope never diesSit safe for a place peaceful and calmWhere no one and nothing can harm youSteal away child, youll be alrightSteal away into the nightOnce more goodnight, one last goodbyeTrying hard not to show how Im making what its taking not to crySteal away child, sleeping so stillOur love is too precious for distance to killBut when you awake, morning has comeI wont be the one you turn toIll do what I must before it gets lightIll steal away into the nightSteal away childSteal away into the night
