A Thief and a Girl – Joel Rickett – April, 2013

I’ve got to go, that’s what I told her…
You see I came to this land,  a thief by name
I had my plans I had my ways

But  time went slow, It was the same ol’ story
Thief meets girl,  He falls in love
Can’t stay with her, but can’t get enough

(Music)

A thief by trade, a lone lost fugitive
Just one more break, one more hit
Then I’ll cash it in and then I could quit

But the wealth I gain, the rush comes over me
I can’t leave this game, won’t  settle in
Just keep movin’ as fast as I can 

	The Fire burns in my soul
	Melts this heart to gold
	Sometimes I know
	But sometimes I don’t
	Should I stay with her
	Or should I go

She came to visit me, in my dreams, the sweetest thing 
She’s begging  me to take her hand
Settle down and be her man

She wants me to rest, but how can I stay, what do I say
She might have my heart, 
But the rest of the world, Is still there to take

(Chorus, Solo)

The road I go is a hard one a dark one
full of thorns and stones, and lonely paths
They’ll drain my heart, they turn me mad

I carry on, but I can’t forget her
All these spoils, all these treasures 
I’d cash them in just to see her
With my last breath, I won’t regret
I’ll return and never forget

     The Fire burns in my soul
     Melts this heart to gold
     Sometimes I know
     But sometimes I don’t
     I will stay with her
     And I won’t go
