A THIEF AND A LIAR.
(Tune: The Ash Grove)
lyrics by
HelenAt night he's alluring, magnetic as moonlight,
He's tender and charming and dances so well.
His eyes are so soulful and sometimes quite doleful,
His voice is as clear and well-tuned as a bell.
A thief and a liar, a cheat and a conman,
A rogue and a weasel, a wastrel, a rat.
His past is a mystery, huge gaps in his history
What is it I find so compelling in that?
He laughs and his laughter's an angelic choir
He smiles and I long to make him smile again,
If only he wasn't a thief and a liar
I'd be so content in his arms to remain.
A thief and a liar, a cheat and a conman,
A rogue and a weasel, a wastrel, a rat.
His past is a mystery, huge gaps in his history
What is it I find so compelling in that?
It's not that I fear him, but I can't get near him,
His name is uncertain, his family unknown.
He seems to know somebody in every country,
But still he can't tell me which one is his own.
A thief and a liar, a cheat and a conman,
A rogue and a weasel, a wastrel, a rat.
His past is a mystery, huge gaps in his history
What is it I find so compelling in that?
