The Thief

A new wind will blow
Through everything
Through everything I know

I was looking into every car hoping that someone might see
And look back
I knew I let it out too far I watched it go I couldn't get it all back

Slowed it down below a waltz where there was hardly any sway or grace left
It was so slow you could see all my faults every solitary step and mis-step
Down like a leaf in the long grass I lay for I was the thief
Made of but not with everything
There was a glow still under the ashes the past was getting ready to let go
If a new wind would blow

Walking into every room in the aftermath
The place felt haunted
By all the things we didn't do when the memory of what we wanted

Slowed it down below a waltz where there was hardly any swing or grace left
It was so slow you could see all my faults and every solitary step and mis-step
Down like a leaf in the long grass I lay for I was the thief
Made of but not with everything
There was a glow still under the ashes the past was getting ready to let go
If a new wind would blow

A new wind
A new wind will blow
Through everything
Through everything I know
Through everything
Through everything I know
Through everything
A new wind will blow
Through everything
Through everything I know
