A Thief in the Night

With that last sweet dream

With that first faint nightmare

I went out in a haze

Under the hush sound of the quiet.

Dying down at the stream

Beneath the moonlight's gracious glare

Finding no one to praise

None to quell my soul's final riot.

All is well and done

But one thing more remains

At the first break of dawn

You won't find me in chains.

Come with your prayers

Come with your dimes

I won't pray for your care

I won't pay a penny for my crimes.
