Kayo Dot - Thief Lyrics
That cloudless night by the waning light of a tired moonThe poet stole across the town(Sleeping, always sleepingAnd dreaming, never dreaming)A shadow and a shadeA ghost that just was madeCreeping across the common, past the bridge and past the fountainHe pushed his wheelbarrow forward through the gloomAnd rested by the river whereHe could see the stoneThe shape of it aloneMade him grasp his heartAn artist when his artStares back at him, a fount of living inspirationThe stone, he brought it home beneath the secrecy of nightThe thief cometh like the LordInto his house where it was storedHe crept into the dreams of the townspeopleLike a knife into a veinOr a rope around a throat
