Thief in the night

I’d like to fall in love with you
But how to proceed, I don’t know
The best intentions I soon forget
The marriage boat sinks before you see it

Just being alone
And forgetting you again
Two people being one
I don’t need to know
Just being alone
And forgetting you again
Two people being one
I don’t need to know

I just dare not love you
In am too afraid
Afraid I won’t keep you for long
Not for very long
I’d rather lose you now
While I still can
While I can still choose my own fate
For I am afraid

`I don`t know if there`s room for you next to me
my own existence offers so little to hold on to
Sometimes I don`t know how to keep afloat
I have such a burden with living alone

I’m not unfeeling, but I can’t
I’d rather walk aimlessly and cause you grief
I’m like a thief who sneaks to you at night
Who crawls into bed beside you without words.

you shouldn’t ask, you shouldn’t expect anything,
I don’t take the days with the nights
you shouldn’t ask you shouldn’t expect anything,
I don’t take the days with the nights
