You're on New York time

Over here it's way past midnight

I drank a bottle of wine

So I can sleep tonight in silence

You see I've had no time to rest

'Cause my suspicion's been out running us

And there's no method, no medicine

That could cure a love like this

'Cause all this time I've been asleep

You've been dancing with deceit

Lost in another world

And I have chosen to forgive

But if the fool in you forgets

I'll take my love back like a thief

Like a thief

They say I'm a one of a kind

I'm like a goldrush running right through you

When I burn, I could turn a world blind

Shake an ocean to the ground

You don't know how much you'll miss me

I'm like a queen inside your kingdom

And there's no king's men, no cavalry

That could ever get me back

I'll be a thousand miles away

Leave you to your prayers to pray

Lost in another world

But I have chosen to forgive

And if the fool in you forgets

I'll take my love back like a thief

Like a thief

(Like a thief, boy, I will run)

(Leaving what we have become)

I'll take my love back like a thief

And maybe one day you will see

Baby, you held heaven
