Kingdom of Thieves
I've dreamed of things that could never be
Chasing twilight to the ends of the Earth
The moon called it a fool's errand
But I followed the giggle of the sun
So that I could stand here
With star shine dripping from my hair
To pull you up from the ledge
And at long last tell you I love you
My heart was never yours to steal
But you made off with it
Like a criminal in the night
And I still don't know
If that fragile thing is safe with you
Or if it's going to be broken again
But chasing your light
Is all that keeps the darkness at bay
So I'm here before you now
If you want my heart then have it
But if you don't want it
Then please set it free
Before it's too late
