Thief

by Blood Oranges

on Corn River (2007)

Halfway back from Montgomery
The road is covered with snow
And I thought I heard a familiar voice over the radio
Better go burn the juniper
Flavor the air with gin
I wait with a Gideon and wonder what the day's gonna bring

Like a thief
Or a whippoorwill I fly
By the light of the moon
And I know that it won't be long
Because morning always breaks too soon

Take the tape from the scripture
You can't be going too far
When you lie awake by a window
Confusing the taillights and stars
Message left on the counter
Number nailed to the door
Wind blowing down the highway
I can't seem to ignore

Like a thief
Or a whippoorwill I fly
By the light of the moon
And I know that it won't be long
Cause morning always breaks too soon

Like a thief
Or a whippoorwill I fly
By the light of the moon
And I know that it won't be long
Cause morning always breaks too soon
And I know that it won't be long
Cause morning always breaks too soon
