Run Like A Thief Lyrics

J.d. Souther Run Like A Thief

When it was alright at midnight
and you fell out at three
So I made you warm
and stoked the dying fire
When it all came down this morning
you were lying next to me
Oh, how sweet the wine of desire
Well we cheated on a friend
and cheaters never win
Though the truth I know
would be some small relief
I could never be the one to say
His best friend took you down
Gonna run in the night, hide when ever it's light
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
She's coming back
and I know just what I'll do
If it comes right down to you leaving him
or staying here with me
Oh, how sweet the memory of you
Well we cheated on a friend
and looks like I lose again
I could never be the one to say
His best friend took you down
Gonna run in the night, hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Like a thief in the night, hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
