Rafferty, Gerry - Stealin' Time Lyrics






Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time
But I don't feel guilty, cause the time was mine
I kept down low, kept down low
I walked right out, I had to let it go.

Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time
Forgot about everything and eased my mind
Stealin' time, I was stealin' time
But now I know it's time to cross that line.

I watched the sky, watched the sky
Every day I let the world roll by
Sun and rain, sun and the rain
It felt so good to know that magic again.

Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time
Forgot about everything and eased my mind
Stealin' time, I was stealin' time
But now I know it's time to cross that line.

Wait my love, wait my love
We'll soon be brighter than the sun up above
Wait and see, wait and see
Forget about everything except you and me.

Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time
Forgot about everything and eased my mind
Stealin' time, I was stealin' time
But now I know it's time to cross that line.

[fade]
Roll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin' time
Roll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin' time.

  1. S.... H....

    Gerry, you left us with music and lyrics that lifts and sustains us. May you slumber gently in the arms of angels. Thank you for sharing your immense gifts with us. R.I.P..

  2. D.... N....

    I always thank Kevin Whitfield for introducing me to this piece of my life. His lyrics are unmatched by most I have been privileged enough to hear . So definitely The Beatles. Unmatched LSD.? I'm can't say for sure?? Just an educated guess. But if I got it wrong,,??? C'mon,? That's perfect

    D.... N....

    Thanks Kevin.

    I bought the City to City album the day it was released in the US. I played the grooves right out of it. I still have the remastered CD released years later. I archive the original and have worn out two copies. Some of the best songs ever written. RIP Gerry.

    Gerry Rafferty was the greatest vocalist/musician ever, in my opinion. His voice carresses the soul

    L.... H....

    Linda Hunt another gorgeous underrated song from him
