Time is a Thief

[Verse 1]
God bless the sun, our day has begun
I will reach for the night in the morning
Silence a sound, the cries to be found
For in darkness I hear your light calling

[Chorus]
Lay me, the beauty and madness are walking the line
Lay me, go off into sadness and say you'll be mine

[Verse 2]
And I just don't know why the wester winds blow
So don't ask me to speak of the weather
But I know a heart will not fall apart
When it's greatness that holds it together

[Chorus]
Lay me, the beauty and madness are walking the line
Lay me, go off into sadness and say you'll be mine

[Bridge]
Picture frames lie empty on the mantlepiece
Photographs you sent me wait to take their place
They're just waiting for you

[Verse 3]
Time is a thief, it will steal your belief
Best surrender yourself to your own fate
For yesterday's passed, tomorrow won't last
So come home with me before it's too late

[Chorus]
Lay me, the beauty and madness are walking the line
Lay me, go off into sadness and say you'll be mine
