My Thief — текст песни (Burt Bacharach)

When I go to sleep you become my thief

Why dont you steal what you can keep?

But you wont let me be

You sneak into my dreams and every day seems different

Sometimes I pretend youll come back again and youll 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 dont lose this glorious distress

Then you can take all I have left

I know its over

If you cant be my lover, be my thief

Im so drowsy now

Ill unlock the door

What fades in time will hurt much more

So heres that happy scene where you come back to me

Its only found in fiction

I didnt lead you on but there will always be a little larceny in

Everyone

So hush and dont you cry

Im trying to be kind because I have a perfect alibi
