Like a thief in the night
You came
Creeping silently
Stealing all that was most precious
...
I took my glasses off today
Only for a moment
Because the bright light hurt my eyes
It will take some getting used to
...
Like A Thief In The Night
Like a thief in the night
You came
Creeping silently
Stealing all that was most precious
Leaving me to wake to the chaos
That used to be a well ordered life.
Tiptoeing through my house
Removing all of value
No voice no voice
No laughter
No joy
You took them all
Like a thief in the night
Now I lie shaking
Waiting to see
What else has gone
Vanished without a trace
No word of warning
No second chance
I hear your footsteps
The whisper in the air
As you circle around my bed
What next?
What next will I awaken to find gone?
Like a thief in the night
You have taken it all
And I awake
Grieving for what is gone,
Frightened for tomorrows loss.
