Forty Thieves

from Between A Wolf And The Moon by Travis Cyr

/

lyrics

I thought about leaving the world for a while
and hanging my hat on the Stars
I thought about saddling up next to you

I thought about boarding a train
And leaving the great state of Maine
riding it clear across the country

I think of where I'd be
without you in the seat next to me
as you disappeared into the landscape

I think of all the ones
In white gowns and silk gloves
broken wings and songs we sing out of tune

The wild horses and sweet chariots
all the guardsmen with their fixed bayonets
All of the soldiers and the firing squads

All of the mornings in the soft silver Air
all of the magic everywhere
all of it happening right here and now

all of the mileage we travel apart
all of the fibers that make up the heart
The who's the what's the why's and hows

I remember thinking when
is all of this going to end
I remember getting lost inside of you

I keep listening to the wolves
sing your name from the top of the hill
I just keep waiting for a new day to break

Ali Baba and the 40 thieves
can't take anything away from me
it's all a shot in the dark and that's all that we got
