Lyrics

A Thief At My Door

The wind rattles my windowpane

He's trying to find a way in

But my door's locked shut and my curtains are drawn

There's a thief I can't let in

A thief at my door

Steal away my love

I remember the wild roses and how they grew

Without fear for the world beyond the tree

But the tree's knocked down, and the roses were tamed

In my heart they are no longer free

A thief at my door

Steal away my love

A thief at my door

Steal away my love

A thief at my door

Steal away my love

A thief at my door

Steal away my love

The Wind rattles my windowpane

He's trying to find a way in

But my door's locked shut and my curtains are drawn

There's a thief I can't let in

There's a thief I can't let in

There's a thief I can't let in
