Elvis Costello – My Thief Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: Painted From Memory

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
[ My Thief lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/my-thief/ ]
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"
