Thief in the Night

THIEF IN THE NIGHT

Dark shadows falling remind me it’s time
To go to my job, deep in the mine
I’ll be there till morning but she’s not alone
I know that a stranger will enter our home

She greets him in secret her conscience is blind
He’s taken possession of her heart and mind
She with him till morning at sunrise he’s gone
She tries to convince me that nothing wrong

Chorus He comes in the darkness he holds her so tite
He enters our bedroom,, The thief in the night

The night shift quit early and I left the mine
I found them together, their arms were entwined
Oh’’ how could she ever think love would be free
She knew all the dangers of anger in me

The cabin is silent the damage is done
The echoes have vanished, from the sound of my gun
The cost is our future and the love of my life
He died in your arms, the thief in the night

To say that I’m sorry does nothing for me
The Walls of this prison will not set me free
I’ll take my last walk at dawns early light
And its all because of, The Thief In the Night

Finish with chorus
He came in the darkness he held her so tight
He died in her arms,, the thief in the night
