Lyrics

The Things I Stole for You (George Olsen 2004)

I stole the truth from the lips of a liar
And the waterfall out of the fire
I stole some cars that were only for hire
And the soul from the flesh of desire

Chorus:
The Things I stole for you (x2)

I stole the stars from a cloudless sky
For the girl of another guy
I stole the smile of the Venus de Milo
And the twinkle of Mona Lisa’s eye

Chorus

I dreamed the dreams of a poet’s illusion
Fought the cause of the revolution
Chanted mantras to ease my confusion
Found some clues but not a solution

Chorus:
The things I did for you (x2)

You always wanted more proof delivered
Squeezed every last drop from the river
In sunshine and safety you shivered
Now I know I can’t reach you..not ever

Chorus:
The things I tried to do
The things I tried for you

I stole the truth from the lips of a liar
And the waterfall out of the fire
I stole the stars from a cloudless sky
For the girl of another guy

Chorus:
The things I stole for you (x2)
The things I did for you (x2)
The things I stole for you.
