Song Description

Soulful mid-tempo song .....girl-friend has been "stolen away", and he now realizes that he should have seen it coming.

Lyrics

I didn't see the signs, oh no baby
I didn't read the writing on the wall
How could I be so blind, now, now baby
How could I not hear the warning call
I didn't smell the smoke or see any fire
Nothin' seemed out of place
No ringin' bells or flashing lights
'Til you had vanished without a trace

(Chorus):
Just like a thief in the night
Oh now baby, my baby's stolen away
Just like a snake with one bite
Oh, little darlin', my world came tumblin' down on me

Now I'm out in the cold, oh now baby
The wind and rain are comin' down on me
How cvould I be so blind, sweet, sweet darlin'
To ever let you get away from me
No whistles blowin' or warning lights
Nothin' seemed out of place
No red flags or caution signs
'Til you had vanished without a trace

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Repeat verse 2)
(Chorus/vamp-out)
