The Thief

The thief on the river
He stole my wings
He stole my wings
And now's he's got away
The thief on the river
Rising up like heat
He turned his head
And I saw that it was me
A thief in the river
A thief in the sea
A thief on the land
And a thief in the trees
I took my knife out of it's sheath
I took my knife out of it's sheath
