Intro: Verse When the countryside was a gift Wrapped in silver ribbon Highway tied up in a bow By the thumb of God Felt like a thief when I was in it Felt like a beggar when I was not verse 2 These city streets of endless failures The same with endless victory I started dreaming the moment that I hit them Into a slumber I could not stop Felt like a thief when I was in ‘em Felt like a beggar when I was not Bridge In the light of a blessing I am humbled in the glow Asking my same old questions Learning I don’t need to know verse 3 Your skin was like the softest ocean Waves of gentle lace and rhythm I left so many times when I should have stayed there swimming Oh but our time together I never forgot Felt like a thief when I was with you Felt like a beggar when I was not Feel like a thief when I am with you Feel like a beggar when I am not Outro
