Chorus: The tear thief dreams he cries
the less you sleep, the less you dream
steal with your eyes awake, stay with your feeling
unable to weep the grief that you keep turns to fear
We are your tears
you’re feeling kind
but we still see how you rob us blind
you are the one who can find
what makes you blue
For our house is your house too
we all hear what you say in your sleep . . .
‘Who will keep me when they know
that I love them?’
We are your tears
you’re feeling dry
but we still see how you need to cry
when you confess you can try
to let us through
(verses and Chorus)
He dreams he cries
he’s the tear thief
