Listen like Thieves

Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of doubt
Don't water them with your tears
Don't think about all the years
You'd rather be without

Eden lets me in
I find the seeds of love
And climb upon the highwire
I kiss and tell all my fears

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of fun
And we scream like alleycats
Tearing down what we attack
To prove that we are one

Cutting through the night
And we find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end

And when your heart stops beating
And the stars stop shining
When all your tears go dry
Honey one by one

I will still be there
I will sing your song
And come to you
All night long

And is this all that it seems
'Cause this is all that we need
When all the thorns are cut away
Baby one by one

Will you still be there
Will you sing my song
And come with me
All night long

And all your kisses linger
Like they always do
Let all that spirit in you
Take it to the end

I will still be there
I will sing your song
And come to you all night long

And we all just need the same things
I tell you what I know
We're heading in the same direction
So never let it go

There are few of us
Who will never know
We're counting on every day

I'm not sure about
You're not sure about
Why things are going this way

Believe it
You can see it

I will turn around
Try to understand
All of the feelings unsaid

If you're serious love is dangerous
It changes my world every day

On the talk back show
On the radio
At the local bar
In the hot traffic by the red tail lights

Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands

And we take it down
To the end of town
Where they have control
But they're losing touch when the lights go out

Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves for the end signs
But who needs that when you've got it all in your hands
It's all in your hands
It's all in your hands

You are all you need
You are all you need
And that is everything
So don't hesitate
There's no time to waste
You just do it for yourself

Hey, here is the story
Forget about your troubles in life
Don't you know it's not easy
When you've gotta walk upon that line

That's why
You need
That's what
This is what you need
I'll give you what you need

Don't you get sad and lonely
You need a change from what you do all day
Ain't no sense in all your crying
Just pick it up and throw it into shape

Hey you won't you listen
This is not the end of it all
Don't you see there is a rhythm
I'll take you where you really need to be

This is the power
Since time began
Every single hour
That we have known

And from each moment
All that is left
Sleep of the innocent
Just one desire

Shine like it does
Into every heart
Shine like it does
And if you're looking
You will find it

This is the story
Since time began
There will come a day
When we will know
