about

The B side of Torch Songs

lyrics

Thief in the key of G major

6/8 102 bpm

I
What feeling are you stealing today?
The way that you paint your face will change.
Will you move away with a sparrow’s grace,
As it swoops for worms in the rain?

II
Well I was so cautious at the start,
Took a while to open up my heart,
The minute that I did it seems like you lost your spark,
Left me alone and in the dark.

Ch 1.
You stemmed your desire put out our fire,
Ain’t no use in denying it.
Now you say to me that you’re too busy to
Find the time to ignite it.

III
Feeling broken again,
And I know he said that’s how the light gets in.
But pieces of me are just scattered in the wind,
Left where you dropped them

Instrumental/ Middle Eight
Oooh
Oooh
I could break and there’d be nothing to do,
So much of me is now part of you.

IV
Turn with that smile on your lips,
Not many are gonna guess that you’re just faking it.
But you don’t see me no more so what’s the point
Of my knowing any of it?

Outro
What feeling are you stealing today?
The shape of your face is gonna change.
Ooh again and again.
Ooh again and again.
