Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Santa Fe Thief Lyrics
Oh the townhouse warbler lives far apart in a songHe holds the poor in his memory he never, he never lets onHe gathers strength as he gazes at length in a joyYou cannot tell from the sound of nothings been heard from his boyHe's a thief in the night and he's stealing for light you won't know itHe's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show itMaybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to sayLook over yonder he's already comingLook over yonder he's already comingLook over yonder he's already coming your wayOh the caretaker's daughter she lives near the Garden of EdenShe knows the name of each flower, she remembers which let you inShe spills the sky when she looks in your eye and her jasmineA symphony heard from a mansion when the wind sweeps in betweenShe's a thief in the night and she's stealing for love you won't know itShe's already found you, her arms all around, you won't show itMaybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to sayLook over yonder she's already comingLook over yonder she's already comingLook over yonder she's already coming your wayOh the old engineer stays patient high in his roundhouseHe watches his trains appearing through silent puffs of snowAnd his eyes are bright as he watches them nearing the time to set the trackWith a flick of his wrist he waves to let them goHe's a thief in the night and he's stealing for life you won't know itHe's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show itMaybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to sayLook over yonder he's already comingLook over yonder he's already comingLook
