Iron & Wine - Arms Of A Thief lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Mr.Henry and the muscle man <br>

Gave her shoes on a night there was no room to stand <br>

And like a letter in a stolen purse <br>

She was bored of her weight, she was bored of her words <br>

The daughter of a soldier told the fallen priest <br>

'It's a cold, cold place in the arm's of a thief.' <br>

And reaching out to touch the steering wheel she said <br>

'Leave me alone but just don't leave me here, alright? <br>

<br>

Alright? <br>

<br>

Mr.Henry and another guy <br>

Gave her gold on a night that it fell from the sky <br>

And like her body when the buzzard came <br>

She was bored of her luck, she was bored of her name <br>

The daughter of a lawyer told the fallen priest <br>

'It's a cold, cold place in the arm's of a thief' <br>

And dabbing at the arrow in her heel she said <br>

'Leave me alone but just don't leave me here alright?' <br>

<br>

Mr.Henry was a dying man <br>

With advice in a tongue that she didn't understand. <br>

And like the water when the sea got rough, <br>

She was bored of the breeze, she was bored of her love. <br>

The winner and the loser told the fallen priest, <br>

'It's a cold,cold world in the arm's of a thief' <br>

And holding everything he made her steal she said <br>

'Leave me alone but just don't leave me here, alright?'<br>

<BR><BR>
