Stealin` time, I`ve been stealin` time
But I don`t feel guilty, cause the time was mine
I kept down low, kept down low
I walked right out, I had to let it go.
Stealin` time, I`ve been stealin` time
Forgot about everything and eased my mind
Stealin` time, I was stealin` time
But now I know it`s time to cross that line.
I watched the sky, watched the sky
Every day I let the world roll by
Sun and rain, sun and the rain
It felt so good to know that magic again.
Stealin` time, I`ve been stealin` time
Forgot about everything and eased my mind
Stealin` time, I was stealin` time
But now I know it`s time to cross that line.
Wait my love, wait my love
We`ll soon be brighter than the sun up above
Wait and see, wait and see
Forget about everything except you and me.
Stealin` time, I`ve been stealin` time
Forgot about everything and eased my mind
Stealin` time, I was stealin` time
But now I know it`s time to cross that line.
(fade)
Roll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin` time
Roll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin` time.
