Why must I be the thief

Why must I be the thief

Oh Lord please won't you tell me

Why must I be the thief

Why must I be the thief

Please said today a man

And how come you're the only one

Who's beggaring who always stays

Why must I be the thief

But I stop the hanging man

How come you're the only one

Living by the open hand

Now why must I be the thief

You cursed the butterfly

And the holy man who bowed his head

Looked the Arctic height

The thief tried that cross

To shed the other's face

But the Jesus man said Not now

I'd rather not now it's far too late

Far too late far too late

Far too late far too late

Far too late far too late

Far too late

Do what you must

Take what you can

Steer the part of every heart

Every elder man every elder man

Every elder man

I'm the thief I am the thief

And you're my heart yes and you're my heart

But I got you then yes I will

Cause you're cause I missed just your flight

Just your flight

Fly fly fly fly

Fly fly fly fly

I'll get you late cause it's just goodbye

I'll get you late it's just goodbye

I'll get you late it's just goodb
