Oh, the townhouse warbler lives far apart in a song
He holds the poor in his memory he never, he never lets on
He gathers strength as he gazes at length in a joy
You cannot tell from the sound of nothings been heard from his boy
Hes a thief in the night and hes stealin for light you wont know it
Hes already found you, his arms all around, you wont show it
Maybe one day youll know more of, youll know enough to say
Look over yonder hes already comin
Look over yonder hes already comin
Look over yonder hes already comin your way
Oh, the caretakers daughter, she lives near the Garden of Eden
She knows the name of each flower, she remembers which let you in
She spills the sky when she looks in your eye and her jasmine
A symphony heard from a mansion when the wind sweeps in between
Shes a thief in the night and shes stealin for love you wont know it
Shes already found you, her arms all around, you wont show it
Maybe one day youll know more of, youll know enough to say
Look over yonder shes already comin
Look over yonder shes already comin
Look over yonder shes already comin your way
Oh, the old engineer stays patient high in his roundhouse
He watches his trains appearing through silent puffs of snow
And his eyes are bright as he watches them nearing the time to set the track
With a flick of his wrist he waves to let them go
Hes a thief in the night and hes stealin for life you wont know it
Hes already found you, his arms all around, you wont show it
Maybe one day youll know more of, youll know enough to say
Look over yonder hes already comin
Look over yonder hes already comin
Look over yonder hes already comin your way
Hes a thief in the night and hes stealin for life you wont know it
Hes already found you, his arms all around, you wont show it
Maybe one day youll know more of, youll know enough to say
Look over yonder hes already comin
Look over yonder hes already comin
Look over yonder hes already comin your way
