Vertaling van: van Dik Hout - Dromendief

You give me everything you've got
All your time, your money, your body
Your love, me so much self respect
And even more respect from friends
You build me a white palace
With parties wine fountains
You trust me with your secrets
Make all ghosts disappear at night

You tell me everything you think
Any wish or silent desire
And you weave your pink love web
And in that web I let myself be caught
You are my opposite, my self-criticism
My even less criticism from friends
You want all of me or not at all
Are the happiness that I didn't deserve

And I remain a thief, a dream thief
And you love me
You love me in all your nights full of tenderness
You love me when you say I never want to lose you
You say you care about me a lot more than you care about yourself
If I make up life together
Then you let me face the facts
You bring me water when I'm feverish
Are the patience I'll never get
No one ever understands my mistakes
Only you will understand
If I want to harvest but I can't
Then you say let it ripen

And I remain a thief, a dream thief
And you love me
You love me in all your nights full of tenderness
You love me when you say I never want to lose you
You say you care about me a lot more than you care about yourself

But if you're so sure, if you're really so sure
If you care so much about me
Would you let me go too?
Would you let me go if I had to?
Would you let me go, let go?
Would you let me go if I had to?
Would you let me go, let go?
Would you let me go, let go?

You are the retrieval service of my sorrow
My compass on open water
And you give me everything you've got
But I'll pay later
