Part 6
A(1) E
We stole the love from young girls in ivory towers,
A(1) E
We stole autumn leaves and summer showers,
A(1) E
We stole the sun and the wind that says you are free,
A(1) E
We stole eveyrthing that we could see,

Walked away, walked away
Part 8
Same as part 2
Part 9
We stole the burning sun in the open sky,
We stole the twinkling stars in the black night,
We stole the green belt they made us believe,
We stole everything that we could see,
But something came along and changed our minds,
Now I don't know what and know why,
But we seemed to grow up in a flash of time,
As we watched our ideals heplessly unwind.

As thick as thieves.
