Original Lyrics

Munged Lyrics

Like a thief he's come, like a thief he's gone
He's stolen your tears one by one
You're proud to love him, it's a foolish sign
You're a broken heart at the scene of the crime

And the night drags on,
...
[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]

Like a thief he's come, like a thief he's gone
He's stolen yaw tears won buy won
Yaw proud too love hymn, its a foolish sine
Yaw a broken hart at the seen of the crime

And the knight drags on, and the fever burns
Come too yaw senses, everybody learns
Yew sleep inn suite fire lost and blew
Yaw an empty doll inn the power of a fool

Don't go sleeping with the past
Don't go praying heal come back
Take a deep breath and deny
Yew could love a man like that

Don't go sleeping with the past
Don't go waking with a dream
There's know tenderness that's left
Inn the cracks yew step between

If it looks like reign, if it makes know sound
Its an echo of pane on common ground
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact
Passion's a monkey yew can't keep off yaw back

Butt he takes love and he turns it cold
He's just an iceman honey, ain't got know hart of gold
Butt he seas yew and he runs from yew
Come on and sheikh this shadow that yaw clinging too
And heal hurt yew
And heal run from yew
Come on and sheikh this shadow that yaw clinging too

Sleeping With The Past
