Thief Without The Take Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Jeff Buckley

(i.lorre/j.buckley) 

Jeff duets with inger lorre and plays guitar on this song, contained in inger lorre's album trascendental medication. 

Oh baby didn't you hear? 

I'm goin' solo dear, 

So low dear 

I am the thief without the take 

I'm swallowing the bitterest pill 

Totally ever so against my will 

I am the thief without the take, 

I am the thief without the take, 

Everytime I try to do my art 

Always fallin' apart, 

Fallin' apart 

I am the thief without the take, 

I am the thief without the take, 

I'm the desert without sun 

Five minus one diamond without shine 

I'm the poem that doesn't rhyme 

I'm the king on the hill 

Sick and ill 

Nothin' I wouldn't trade to be the serving knave 

I'm the sun without heat 

The drum without the beat 

I'm the winter without snow 

Flame without a glow 

I am the thief without the take, 

I am the thief without the take 

Everytime I try to do my art 

Always fallin' apart, 

Fallin' apart 

I am the thief without the take, 

I am the thief without the take 

I've stolen from myself too too long 

It's just the music makes me want to go on 

I am the thief without the take
