Song Lyrics

"Thief"

by Glenn Kaiser
Album: Winter Sun

Like a shot in the dark,
like a smokin' gun
When you least expect,
that's when He's gonna come
No angel of light,
no man from the east
gonna stand Him up
when time has ceased

God Almighty, nobody gonna sleep
When the stars fall down,
He'll be comin' like a thief

When they talk of peace
and there just ain't none
When the sand runs out
though knowledge increase
In the blink of an eye, like a lightnin' strike
From the east to the west
like a thief in the night

Lord, Lord, they gonna wail an' weep
Aw, when the clouds roll back
He'll be comin' like a thief, comin' like a thief

Two in the field, one won't go
Two in bed, one left lyin' cold
Two in the factory, one punchin' out
With the blast of a horn, with a mighty shout

Gonna reap, just like a field of wheat
Oh, ya better watch an' pray
He'll be comin' like a thief, comin' like a thief
