"I Know A Thief" lyrics

One, two, three, two, two, three

I know a bird with a broken wing
He used to say he knew everything
Now he's alone with no song to sing

I know a clock with a broken spring
He used to laugh at most anything at all
Now he's afraid of what time will bring

There's a time in your life when you start feeling old
And you want to buy back all the dreams you sold
Then you start understanding the value of gold
And the lies you told
And the lies you told

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I know a thief with a broken soul
He used to brag of the hearts that he stole
Now he's in prison without a parole

There's a time in your life when you start feeling old
And you want to buy back all the dreams you sold
Then you start understanding the value of gold
And the lies you told
And the lies you told

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
