The Arsonist & The Theif Lyrics - Singles - Robyn Cage

They met in the desert- their encounter was brief 

He was an Arsonist, she was a Thief 

He struck a match and she burned with desire 

She stole his heart, he set hers on fire 

Love burns, but it don't burn long 

A spark in the dark seems so strong 

If you find it, keep it, hold on 

Turn your back for a second and it's gone 

The desert heat was a feeble flame 

Their bonfire blazed like the future, like fame 

They danced 'round the fire, got high off the fumes 

They drank communion and howled at the moon 

Love burns, but it don't burn long 

A spark in the dark seems so strong 

If you find it, keep it, hold on 

Turn your back for a second and it's gone 

Before long, he was looking around 

She wasn't the only thief in town 

Everyone wants love that's real 

So we beg, we borrow, we steal 

Just before leaving he stole back his heart 

She began looking for fires to start 

She fed her own flames 'til her spirit was choked 

Her heart and soul- cinders and smoke 

Love burns, it don't burn long 

A spark in the dark seems so strong 

If you find it, keep it, hold on 

Love burns, love burns.... 

In the end it don't matter if it's real or a con 

Turn your back for a second and it's gone 

Turn your back for a second and it's gone 

Turn your back for a second and it's gone
