3.	THIEF'S WIFE	2:37

Lyrics

what's weak in you grows evil
when you steal what strength you can
and with each crime, your hands are tied
to what you can't give back

one day i woke to waves of light
bright axes on the fence
a hundred blackbird feathers spilled
the lake was in my chest

my husband is a thief
he brings me yards of silk and gold
he lays his body over me
when i am blue and cold
