The Thief Lyrics - Oh Little Fire - Sarah Harmer

A new wind will blow through everything 

Through everything I know 

I was looking into every car 

Hoping that someone might see and look back 

I knew I let it out too far, I watched it go 

I couldn't get it all back 

Slowed it down below a waltz 

Where there was hardly any sway or grace left 

It was so slow you could see my faults 

Every solitary step and misstep 

Down like a leaf in the long grass I lay for hours 

The thief made off but not with everything 

There was a glow still under the ashes 

The past was getting ready to let go 

If a new wind would blow 

Walking into every room 

In the aftermath the place felt haunted 

By all the things we didn't do 

And the memory of what we wanted 

Slowed it down below a waltz 

Where there was hardly any sway or grace left 

It was so slow you could see all my faults 

Every solitary step and misstep 

Down like a leaf in the long grass I lay for hours 

The thief made off but not with everything 

There was a glow still under the ashes 

The past was getting ready to let go 

If a new wind would blow
