The Tiger Lillies - Lover lyrics

My lover and my mentor Now lies in her grave And I'm left to mourn her Whom my soul did save I'm staring at her tombstone My heart is full of grief I fear that part of my life Has been stolen by a thief Stolen by a thief Stolen by a thief The elements will wear this tombstone away And one day we will join you Us who for you pray The words upon your tombstone Will be worn away But we will be united Somehow somewhere some day Stolen by a thief Stolen by a thief As that tombstone starts to crack From the bitter cold And when I come to visit you Bent double and old My memories of love will seem like yesterday True love never forgets Well that is what they say You were stolen by a thief You were stolen by a thief So lover dear, I love you forever more You, my blessed lover Your memory I'll adore So as the wind and snow and rain Beats down upon your tomb My comfort is We'll be united one day soon You were stolen by a thief |: Stolen by a thief:|
