Emily Haden Lee - Time Is A Thief Lyrics

This house was built on parent's dreams
"Johnny's Garden" on a quiet creek
It sings a song I can't repeat
Oh but all my life I've been listening

And the cruel truth of it all
Is that everything fades
In time, memories fall
For some this is relief
But not for me - oh not for me
Time is a thief
Oh time is a thief

You'd touch my face
And your hands smelled like cigarettes
Add that to my list of things not to forget
She's doing fine, you never see her cry
When she leaves this house
She'll hold her head up high

And the cruel truth of it all
Is that everything fades
In time, memories fall
For some this is relief
But not for me - oh not for me
Time is a thief
Oh time is a thief

And the cruel truth of it all
Is that everything fades
In time, memories fall
For some this is relief
But not for me - oh not for me
Time is a thief
