J.D. Souther - Run Like a Thief lyrics

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
