Name: Thief
Duration: P00H01M54S
Description: GS: "Thief": "acoustic-y", as requested. The poetry section is just clean acoustic guitar and vocals, followed by an instrumental section where there's a little stereo delay and reverb filling out the guitar, and with two recorder tracks soloing. All acoustic and very simple, I didn't think it needed anything else. It felt like a nice way to end the album.

lyrics

Like stealing truth from a baby's mouth

she slipped into the dimness of my house

and made the silence sing

She transformed my confusion with

subtle brash abrasions

returning to me a jewel both bright and dark

She walked through dawning darkness

and brought me the light

She took a look of hope

and gave it definition, direction

She wiped away my slate

and handed me colored chalk

She created a wondrous act of love

out of what had once been only words

and talk

She stole me from the stranger I was

and gave me back to the man I should be

by burning away the falseness of my face

she brought out the beauty in my scars

by walking through the dawning darkness

she brought me to the stars
