Run Like a Thief Songtext
von J.D. Souther

Then it was alright at midnight
And you fell out at three
So I made you warm and stoked a dying fire
When it all came down this morning
You were lying next to me
Oh how sweet the wine of desire
Well he cheated on a friend
Cheaters never win
The truth I know would be some small relief
I could never be the one to say
His best friend took you down

I′m gonna run in the night
And hide whenever it's light
I′m gonna run in the night like a thief
Like a thief


Ain't no use to think it over
I was blind but now I see
He's comin′ back and I know just what I′ll do
If it comes right down to your leaving him
And staying here with me
Oh how sweet the memory of you
Well he cheated on a friend
And it looks like I lose again
I could never be the one to say
His best friend took you down

I'm gonna run in the night
And hide whenever it′s light
I'm gonna run in the night like a thief
Like a thief in the night
And hide whenever it′s light
I'm gonna run in the night like a thief
