A thief at my door

The wind rattles my windowpane
He's trying to find a way in
But my door's locked shut and my curtains are drawn
There's a thief I can't let in
A thief at my door
Steal away my love
I remember the wild roses and how they grew
Without fear for the world beyond the tree
But the tree's knocked down, and the roses were tamed
In my heart they are no longer free
A thief at my door
Steal away my love
A thief at my door
Steal away my love
A thief at my door
Steal away my love
A thief at my door
Steal away my love
The wind rattles my windowpane
He's trying to find a way in
But my door's locked shut and my curtains are drawn
There's a thief I can't let in
There's a thief I can't let in
There's a thief I can't let in
