Where's The Thief For Me

It’s a long walk back to bed tonight,
A long walk passing strangers, dodging drunks
And pressing the full weight of my evening
Against the silence of the sidewalk.
All night I spent a thief,
Stealing glances here and there,
Taking what I could from the people all around me,
Hoping that some criminal mastermind
Would find a way into me,
Into the places I try so hard to hide
And make off with something precious.
I’d let them have it, I tell you, I wouldn’t put up a fight
I’d let them steal whatever they like.
