Thief to Silver Songtext

von Shona Laing

Trains shimmer and shake
Alongside dead river
I'm sorry if I put you under pressure
A wanderer of old
I need no one to hold
Just haven't been this cold
Since I lived here

So much we forget
Though you I remember
The lines on your forehead
That sense of you being there
And whatever happens now
Love has laughed out load
No so proud
In the end yeah...

Would I have kept it all at arm's length if I
Could live without love
Drawn to you like a thief to silver
Following the line of least resistance
Called by the silence
Drawn by the distance
Thief to silver
Like a thief to silver

Planes growl from above
Hey love's just for leaving
In this ruined hemisphere
Where people are everything
I need to see the sea
From above if that's how it must be
Before this town
Smothers me

Would I have kept it all at arm's length if I
Could live without love
Drawn to you like a thief to silver
Following the line of least resistance
Called by the silence
Drawn by the distance
Thief to silver
Like a thief to silver
