Thief in the Night

The shadow's my lover, I seek her embrace.

The starlight alone is my guide.

I drift through the darkness, a dancer's grace

With none but my wits at my side.

Silence my shield, cunning my blade.

Though I have no need for a fight.

Since no man can guard against my raid

For I am the thief in the night.

Search if you choose.

I leave no clues.

You'll find no footprints in mud.

You won't see me coming

But no need for running

For a master thief spills no blood.

So lock up your silver and hide your gold.

It makes no difference to me.

I have a way into every hold.

For every lock, a key.

They call me a crook, they call me a toad.

They yell every bad name and slight.

But I have my honor, a chivalrous code

For I am the thief in the night.

Searching for love

Goddess above

Nothing will keep us apart.

Not mountains nor water

So lock up your daughter

For I just might steal her heart.

By now you must know that I'm morally grey

But I know right from wrong.

So I travel the world, a vagrant, a stray

So others might hear my song.

The treasure is bagged and the hour's at hand.

It's time for me to take flight.

I have business across the land.

For I am the thief in the night.
