lyrics

I’ll wear the day like a fresh coat of paint
On a seaside hotel
Bells in a tower ring on the hour
They ripple and swell

Strange conversations between old acquaintances
Drift through the hall
And you take a photograph
And everything stops
Snapshot of our distance past
Washed up on the rocks

You’re my kind of thief
You never look back
You get what you need and that’s what you have
And you travel light, light as the breeze
You’re out in the wild
You’re my kind of thief

The girl at the bar
says she’ll read my cards if I buy her a drink
“Hanged man, two of swords
See you’ve been here before but you’re still on the brink”

Palm trees are swaying a piano is playing
it smells like perfume
And you take a photograph
And everything stops
Fragments of our distant past poured over the rocks

You’re my kind of thief
You never look back
You get what you need and that’s what you have
You travel light,light as the breeze
You’re out in the wild
You’re way out to sea
You’re miles ahead
Wait up for me
