Minstrel

I've stolen the days
and stolen the nights.
I've stolen the seasons,
and done quite all right.

I've stolen the sunset
from out of the west.
I've stolen the bad wine
and left you the best.

I've stolen the time
from the face of your watch.
I've stolen the world
but I'll never be caught.

I've stolen your troubles
while passing on through.
I've stolen the music
I'm singing to you.

I've stolen the smile
from the face of the moon
And left it for all
who are hearing this tune.
