The Thief - Sarah Harmer
A new wind will blow
through everything
Through everything I know
I was looking into every car
Hoping that someone
might see and look back
I knew I let it out too far,
I watched it go
I couldn't get it all back
Slowed it down below a waltz
Where there was hardly
any sway or grace left
It was so slow
you could see my faults
Every solitary step and misstep
Down like a leaf
in the long grass
I lay for hours
The thief made off
but not with everything
There was a glow
still under the ashes
The past was getting ready to let go
If a new wind would blow
Walking into every room
In the aftermath
the place felt haunted
By all the things we didn't do
And the memory of what we wanted
Slowed it down below a waltz
Where there was hardly
any sway or grace left
It was so slow
you could see all my faults
Every solitary step and misstep
Down like a leaf in
the long grass I lay for hours
The thief made off
but not with everything
There was a glow still under the ashes
The past was getting ready to let go
If a new wind would blow
A new wind
A new wind blow
through everything
Through everything I know
Through everything
through everything i kown
through everything i kown
A new wind will blow
Through everything
Through everything I know
