He sees a frozen shadow 
Cold in the neon flash 
He sees the ghost of a chance in her eyes 
He longs to take her away 
To a place where love can last 
Without all these memories 
Of all the emptier loves in her life 
'Cause He knows how bad it can get 
And He sees her lose 
Though she pays her dues 
She still winds up in debt 
And the night cracks 
Like a whip in her heart 
She looks into the light 
He takes her out of the darkness 

He's a thief in the night 
Where souls are for sale but nobody buys 
Please believe me when I 
When I tell you His love 
Is a steal at any price 

He sees a broken bottle 
There in a young boy's hand 
It's full of the anger 
That's cut him so deep 
He longs to take him in 
And show He understands 
And give him something that's more than 
A promise that no one will keep 
'Cause He knows how bad it can hurt 
When you try and you try 
'Til you don't know why 
'Cause you still find that nothing works 
And his heart cracks 
Like a whip in the night 
He takes him out of the darkness 
And into the light 

And He's a thief in the night 
Where souls are for sale but nobody buys 
Please believe me when I 
When I tell you His love 
Is a steal at any price 

He's a thief in the night 
Where souls are for sale but nobody buys 
Please believe me when I 
When I tell you His love 
Is a steal at any price 

He's a thief in the night 
Where souls are for sale but nobody buys 
Please believe me when I 
When I tell you His love 
Is a steal at any price 

He's a thief in the night
