My Thief When I go to sleep, you become my thief Why don't you steal what you can keep? But you won't let me be You break into my dreams
And every day seems different Sometimes I pretend you'll come back again And you'll console the heart you stole Have pity on the man
Who knows that you have gone And has begun to break down I feel almost possessed So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then
You can take all I have left I know it's over If you can't be my lover
Be my thief I'm so drowsy now, I'll unlock the door What fades in time will hurt much more So here's that happy scene where you come back to me It's only found in fiction
I feel almost possessed So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then You can take all I have left I know it's over If you can't be my lover Be my thief
"I didn't lead you on, But there will always be A little larceny in everyone So hush and don't you cry I'm trying to be kind Because I have a perfect alibi"

I always loved this song but didn't quite understand what he meant...thank you Elvis, thank you Eymerich! This is one of those rare albums that has every song a gem. I couldn't stop listening to it when I got it, and for months. I still love it, but I think I ruined the CD by overplaying it! :o(
In 2001, i had dis album, i was married but got involved wit a beautiful, charismatic woman, she knows and loves dis song, I got divorced n dis beautiful woman left my life. I asked her to be my thief, and when her memory starts to fade, her comes my dream at least evry 2 months, be it a bad, haunting or a passionate dream it has a feel of pain and loss in it, then memories of her comes flashing back into my memory and reminds me of her smile and beautiful blue eyes, i miss u jennifer...
