lyrics

The years die then leave you
Alone and abandoned
Here in this wild world
With nothing to say

I would not deny
I have been guilty
Wasted the good time
Given to me

So you call me a robber
I don't sneak like a thief
I won't beg for forgiveness
When I'm down on my knees

Stealing time
I'm looking behind me
I'm waiting for the photo call

Stealing time
I passed the mile stone past the garden wall
The garden wall

Stealing time
And you said there's a better way
If only we could change

Stealing time
Because you're only here waiting
Until your time comes round again
You`re stealing time

I saw a young boy
He rode on an Eagle
Down through the back streets
In my yesterdays

Eyes like the ocean
Hair like the corn grass
Rode like the wild wind
Through my yesterdays

You call me a poacher
A shadow on the heath
No better than a criminal
No better than a thief

Stealing time
Watch the seconds turn to minutes
It's crazy how they slip away

Stealing time
I'm shipping water got no lifeboat
I'm just a castaway

Stealing time
And will we see what we want to see
When the sun comes up today

Stealing time
'Cos we're only here waiting until our time comes round again
We`re stealing time

Watch the seconds slip away
They slip away
Slip away

Stealing time
We're on a knife edge leaning over
We're wishing on a five leaf clover

Stealing time
Chasing shadows down the alleyway
Just one way

Stealing time
And you say there is a better way
If only we could change

Stealing time
Some gathered by the water side
And somebody called your name

Stealing time
You're counting chickens filling baskets
With the eggs they lay

Stealing time
Holy roller what did you do today?
What did you do today?

Stealing time
And you said there is a time to play
And it's written in the sun

Stealing time
And one day you will be there
When my time has come

Stealing time
Counting seconds watching minutes
As they slip away

I watch them slip away

They slip away

Slip away
