  1. Like a Thief

From the recording Next Phase

Lyrics

Daylight comes on like a fever
Nighttime sneaks in like a thief
Sometimes love can strike like a hammer
With a blow that is torrid but brief
The seasons change so slowly
A cursory look may not show it
Gradually building and then eroding
It's happening even if you don't know it

And you wake up one day and there's frost on the ground
Maybe there's frost in your heart
The fire and warmth that you took for granted is gone and you noticed
You started shivering and looking around
For a new way to keep out the cold
Maybe you're tired, maybe you're beat
Maybe you're just growing old

Secret things happen in the nighttime
Open things happen in the day
Some things happen when you least expect them
And you wish there were some other way
But even if you're the best gambler in the world
You gotta play with the cards that you're dealt
And you can't predict when a heart will turn over
Like you can when the ice will melt

And you wake up one day and there's frost on the ground
Maybe there's frost in your heart
The fire and warmth that you took for granted is gone and you noticed
You started shivering and looking around
For a new way to keep out the cold
Maybe you're tired, maybe you're beat
Maybe you're just growing old
Maybe you're just growing old

Day comes on like a fever
Night sneaks in like a thief
Sometimes love can strike like a hammer
With a blow that is torrid but brief
And then doubt sneaks in like a thief
