Thief in the Night/Wedding Ball

Like a thief in the night, Like a thief in the night
I will steal your deepest grief, I will steal your deepest grief
You will wake up in the light, You will wake up in the light
Feeling like some lovebug bit, Or that your were surely hit
By rays of sun shining bright, By rays of sun shining bright

Like a speck of mere dust, Like a speck of mere dust
Into a tree I do grow, Into a tree I do grow
As ever-living I must, As ever-living I must
Springing from a tiny seed, Whose tale we have learned to heed
As well as the cries of the just, As well as the cries of the just

Like a stone in a wall, Like a stone in a wall
I will roll one fine spring day, I will roll one fine spring day
When Glory bells give the call, When Glory bells give the call
The sound you will hear, Shall ring away all of your fear
Of going to that wedding ball, where nobody is refused at all
So, let's go to that wedding ball, where nobody gets refused at all
Let's go to that wedding ball, Yes, let's go to that wedding ball

Now you can listen to this song, too: THIEF In the NIGHT/Wedding BALL
