Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Santa Fe Thief lyrics

Oh the townhouse warbler lives far apart in a song He holds the poor in his memory he never, he never lets on He gathers strength as he gazes at length in a joy You cannot tell from the sound of nothings been heard from his boy He's a thief in the night and he's stealing for light you won't know it He's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show it Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say Look over yonder he's already coming Look over yonder he's already coming Look over yonder he's already coming your way Oh the caretaker's daughter she lives near the Garden of Eden She knows the name of each flower, she remembers which let you in She spills the sky when she looks in your eye and her jasmine A symphony heard from a mansion when the wind sweeps in between She's a thief in the night and she's stealing for love you won't know it She's already found you, her arms all around, you won't show it Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say Look over yonder she's already coming Look over yonder she's already coming Look over yonder she's already coming your way Oh the old engineer stays patient high in his roundhouse He watches his trains appearing through silent puffs of snow And his eyes are bright as he watches them nearing the time to set the track With a flick of his wrist he waves to let them go He's a thief in the night and he's stealing for life you won't know it He's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show it Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say Look over yonder he's already coming Look over yonder he's already coming Look over yonder he's already coming your way REPEAT CHORUS
