Lyrics
?Thieve?
Capers Simmons
VERSE I
Fifteen sins lie upon my chest
Take them, lay them cross your breast
Tempt me and I?ll fail this test for you
Lick your lips and close your eyes
Place your hand upon my thigh
Take this kiss and take my life into you
PRECHORUS
Ocean, storm and hurricane, blow?
Break my back; I won?t let go
Lighthouse burn, but I won?t slow
I need you
CHORUS I
Steal my skin and thieve my clothes
Tear my flesh from off my bones
Take my eyes and leave the holes
So you can see inside my soul
VERSE II
Here I am in your two hands
Broken pieces of a man
I would sail this ship on land for you
Sirens calling from the bay
I can hear the words they say
So help me, God, but I will stay with you
~ PRECHORUS ~ CHORUS I ~
BRIDGE
Stolen from the sea I wander
Praying, ?Waters, take me under.?
But at that moment I remember you
CHORUS II
Thieve the sky and leave the stars
Take my love and leave the scars
Crack my ribs and steal my heart
I have loved you as you are
~ CHORUS I ~
