Iron & Wine - Arms of a Thief lyrics

Mr. Henry and the muscle man Yeah, with shoes on a night, there was no road to stand Like a letter in a stolen purse She was bored of her weight, she was bored of her words The daughter of a soldier told the fallen priest That's a cold, cold place in the arms of a thief And reaching out to touch the steering wheel She said leave me alone but just don't leave me here, alright? Alright, alright Mr. Henry and another guy Gave her gold on a night that it fell from the sky And like a body when the buzzard came She was bored of her look, she was bored of her name The daughter of a lawyer told the fallen priest That's a cold, cold place in the arms of a thief And tapping at the air with her heel She said leave me alone but just don't leave me here, alright? Alright, alright Mr. Henry was a dying man With a vice and a tongue that she didn't understand Like the water when the sea got rough She was bored with the breeze, she was bored of her luck The winner and the loser told the fallen priest That's a cold, cold place in the arms of a thief And holding everything he made her steal She said leave me alone but just don't leave me here, alright? Alright, alright
