Another night where I
Try to flee these pain filled eyes
A red man stands by my side
he says "Son, don't you know I could make you fly?
Lean a little closer and I'll tell you a secret
Let us make a deal now you can take it or leave it
Well, I only ask for your heart and your soul."
I hear you whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal our light
When hope guides our heart
(Can't steal our love, can't steal our light)
Break down on the bench outside
Friendy to the left they can tell I'm fried
Runnin' round the bright casino floor
Mascara face behind the bathroom door
Oh, lookie lookie here I have an empty temptation
Falling up the stairs the signal surely she's wasted
But I can't say no when this feels oh so right
(Is this the story of my life again?)
I hear you whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal our light
When hope guards our heart
(Can't steal our love, can't steal our light)
I hear your whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal true light
Faith guides our heart
(You can't steal our love, you can't steal our light)
You were so lost
You were so fucking lost
And now that the love is gone
I'll search through all its ruins
And I'll try to dig it out again, I'll try
Oh, I'll try to find my way back home, tonight
And now that your love is gone
Search through all its ruins
To try to dig it out again, I'll try
I'll try to find my way back home, tonight
I hear you whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal our light
When hope guides our heart
(You can't steal our love, you can't steal our light)
I hear your whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal our light
If hope guards our heart
(Can't steal our love, can't steal our light)
