Boo Hewerdine - The Love Thieves Lyrics

When the love thieves came to our town
I should have locked doors
Pulled shutters down
When the love thieves came to our town
I should have changed my name
Should have gone underground

I would have been stronger
But you were not around...

When the love thieves came for my heart
I said I'd drive getaway
Give them a head start
I came running when I heard them call
I was the first one to fall
I was the first one to fall

I would have been stronger
But you were not around
When the love thieves came to town
When the love thieves came to town

I saw your eyes from passing cars
And guilty skies
Guilty skies

If they ever catch you around
Lock doors
Close shutters down
Don't come running if you hear them call
You'll be the first one to fall
You'll be the first one to fall

I would have been stronger
But you were not around
When the love thieves came to town
When the love thieves came to town
When the love thieves came to town
When the love thieves came to town
