Renata & Trev - Each Night Is a Thief

The time was all black
In a bed that was all white
Black has been the day
And black was the moment
When we touched
With words that we took out on loan

So little you know
That we've just dreamt each other
Made each other up
With our foolish desire
For miracles
That weren't granted to us

Each night is a thief and the kindest of givers
So crafty, so vast, so tender
We're lost in a house that belongs to strangers
And we want to go home

Then a waking up song
From the doves in the backyards
Where a silver winged fairy
Is scattering daylight
On the ground
In the lamplight that's now fading out

I'll watch your closed eyes
While sleep still eludes me
And I wonder why
We're both actors only
Playing a part
In one of the Laughable Loves

Each night is a thief and the kindest of givers
So crafty, so vast, so tender
We're lost in a house that belongs to strangers
And we want to go home

Each night is a thief and the kindest of givers
So crafty, so vast, so tender
We're lost in a house that belongs to strangers
And we want to go home
