Only a Thief
Skirmish: THIEF (@jem)Liner Notes
#acoustic I had already written a song on this theme, but why not another? This time, I tried to write for a tempo of 127 bpm. It is one of my more ragged demos. Apparently I am not used to this tempo.
Lyrics
[verse 1] I went down that road And I do mean down I was all alone Turned halfway around
[chorus] I knew all along There was something wrong But the reason is beyond belief Who would steal my heart Take my world apart Only a thief Only a thief
[verse 2] The exact same sign I had seen before A curious mind Evened the score
[chorus] I knew all along There was something wrong But the reason is beyond belief Who would steal my heart Take my world apart Only a thief Only a thief
[bridge] Do you have any idea how small my world has become From the heart of the palace to out here beating the drum
[verse 3] Now I see through Your many masks Which one is you Everyone asks
[chorus] I knew all along There was something wrong But the reason is beyond belief Who would steal my heart Take my world apart Only a thief Only a thief
[bridge] Do you have any idea how small my world has become From the heart of the palace to out here beating the drum
[chorus] I knew all along There was something wrong But the reason is beyond belief Who would steal my heart Take my world apart Only a thief
I knew all along There was something wrong But the reason is beyond belief Who would steal my heart Take my world apart Only a thief Only a thief
Only a thief but so much impact from a thief. This is really well done and I particularly like the bridge with the beating of the drum being the beat of your song. Good melody too.
