My Kind of Thief

I'll wear the day like a fresh coat of paint on a seaside hotel

Bells in a tower, they 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 that 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

Snapshot of our distance 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

And you travel light

Light as the breeze

You're out in the wild

You're way out at sea

You're miles ahead

Wait up for me
