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 goodbye
