Elvis Costello - My Thief Lyrics

Font:

Align:

When I go to sleep, you become my thief

Why dont you steal what you can keep?

But you wont let me be

You break 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 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

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
