Lyrics

Steal Away

Don’t talk. Don’t laugh anymore.
Just smile all the time.
Oh, so much to be said, though I
hear only what’s on my mind.

I’m so lonely. I’m so alone inside.
I’m so alone, yeah, here in my mind.
Oh, so much to think of. So much to think.
Oh, so much to be said all alone in my mind.

I want to know
will you still love me in a thousand years?
And the wind blows,
taking away all my well-spent,
well-spent, well-spent tears.

I love you more than I am.
I love you more than I am.
It’s all for you, all for you
for all, for all these years.

Don’t want to lose the smile I had when I first met you.
That was before that, before that evil wind blew
(and the wind blows cold.)

Don’t you trail into nothing.
Don’t you trail into nothing.
Don’t you trail into nothing,
wo, you tender heart.
All those unspoken dreams,
those shared unspoken dreams,
don’t you let those unspoken dreams
become heavy and hard tears.

I want to know
will you steal away with all my hopes and all my dreams?
Don’t leave me stranded.
I want to know
will you still love me in forty years,
forty years from now?
And the wind blows,
taking away all my well-spent,
well-spent, well-spent tears.

Yes, and, I love you more than I am.
I love you more than I am.
It’s all for you, all for you
for all, for all these years.

There’s a crowded house here,
and I’m all alone inside.
A crowded house here in my mind.
And I’m just a prisoner.
I’m just a prisoner.
I’m just a prisoner
of myself and my mind.

I want to know
will you steal away with all my hopes and all my dreams?
Don’t leave me stranded.
I want to know
will you steal away?
will you steal away?
don’t you steal away?
don’t you steal away?
Please don’t.
don’t steal away with
my heart.
