Lyrics
Thieves In The Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My friend once told me, something so right
He said to be careful of thieves in the night
Baby, I've lost you here in the crowd
Open your arms, I want to be found
Maybe I'm calling your name in the night
Open our eyes, we'll feel with our sight
A want is a lack but also desire
A need can be nothing but should be held higher
A need is a want wearing disguise
It can be confused if fueled by desire
Baby, I'm calling your name in the night
No reason with need look into my eyes
Happiness is what we all want
May it be that we don't always want
Happiness is what we all want
May it be that we don't all want
My friend once told me, something so right
He said to be careful of bugs that don't bite
My friend once told me, something so right
He said to be careful of thieves in the night
Happiness is what we all want
May it be that we don't always want
Happiness is what we all want
May it be that we don't always want
Happiness is what we all want
May it be that we don't always want
Happiness is what we all want
May it be that we don't all want
Happiness is what we all want
May it be that we don't always want
Happiness is what we all want
May it be that we don't always want
