Oh the townhouse warbler lives far apart in a song

He holds the poor in his memory he never, he never lets on

He gathers strength as he gazes at length in a joy

You cannot tell from the sound of nothings been heard from his boy



He's a thief in the night and he's stealing for light you won't know it

He's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show it

Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say

Look over yonder he's already coming

Look over yonder he's already coming

Look over yonder he's already coming your way



Oh the caretaker's daughter she lives near the Garden of Eden

She knows the name of each flower, she remembers which let you in

She spills the sky when she looks in your eye and her jasmine

A symphony heard from a mansion when the wind sweeps in between



She's a thief in the night and she's stealing for love you won't know it

She's already found you, her arms all around, you won't show it

Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say

Look over yonder she's already coming

Look over yonder she's already coming

Look over yonder she's already coming your way



Oh the old engineer stays patient high in his roundhouse

He watches his trains appearing through silent puffs of snow

And his eyes are bright as he watches them nearing the time to set the track

With a flick of his wrist he waves to let them go



He's a thief in the night and he's stealing for life you won't know it

He's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show it

Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say

Look over yonder he's already coming

Look over yonder he's already coming

Look over yonder he's already coming your way



REPEAT CHORUS
