Santa Fe Thief
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
He's a thief in the night and he's stealing for light you won't know it
He's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show it
Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say
Look over yonder he's already coming
Look over yonder he's already coming
Look over yonder he's already coming your way
Oh the caretaker's 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
She's a thief in the night and she's stealing for love you won't know it
She's already found you, her arms all around, you won't show it
Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say
Look over yonder she's already coming
Look over yonder she's already coming
Look over yonder she's already coming 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
He's a thief in the night and he's stealing for life you won't know it
He's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show it
Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say
Look over yonder he's already coming
Look over yonder he's already coming
Look over yonder he's already coming your way
REPEAT CHORUS
Ladrón de Santa Fe
Oh, el gorrión del barrio vive lejos en una canción
Él guarda a los pobres en su memoria, nunca, nunca lo revela
Reúne fuerzas mientras contempla extasiado en una alegría
No puedes decir por el sonido que nada se ha escuchado de su hijo
Es un ladrón en la noche y está robando por luz, no lo sabrás
Ya te ha encontrado, sus brazos a tu alrededor, no lo mostrarás
Quizás algún día sabrás más, sabrás lo suficiente para decir
Mira allá, ya viene
Mira allá, ya viene
Mira allá, ya viene hacia ti
Oh, la hija del cuidador vive cerca del Jardín del Edén
Ella conoce el nombre de cada flor, recuerda cuál te dejó entrar
Ella derrama el cielo cuando mira en tus ojos y su jazmín
Una sinfonía escuchada desde una mansión cuando el viento se cuela entre medio
Ella es una ladrona en la noche y está robando por amor, no lo sabrás
Ya te ha encontrado, sus brazos a tu alrededor, no lo mostrarás
Quizás algún día sabrás más, sabrás lo suficiente para decir
Mira allá, ya viene
Mira allá, ya viene
Mira allá, ya viene hacia ti
Oh, el viejo ingeniero permanece paciente en lo alto de su casa redonda
Observa sus trenes apareciendo a través de silenciosas bocanadas de nieve
Y sus ojos brillan mientras los ve acercarse al momento de colocar la vía
Con un movimiento de muñeca les hace señas para dejarlos ir
Es un ladrón en la noche y está robando por vida, no lo sabrás
Ya te ha encontrado, sus brazos a tu alrededor, no lo mostrarás
Quizás algún día sabrás más, sabrás lo suficiente para decir
Mira allá, ya viene
Mira allá, ya viene
Mira allá, ya viene hacia ti
REPITE ESTRIBILLO
