A couple of months ago I noticed a strange trend appearing amongst the visitors to We Write Lists. That week, and every single day since, we’ve had somewhere in the region of a hundred visits simply from people searching for the lyrics to ‘Steal My Heart’ – a wonderful song by our friends Emily and the Woods. The problem is, the post that drew everyone in didn’t actually feature any lyrics to the song. So consider this our apology – we emailed Emily, who has played our Folkroom gigs in the past, and she quickly and brightly obliged. So thanks to Emily, and all her fans – we couldn’t be happier to see her doing so well! If you want to see her do well for yourself, she’s playing unplugged at the St Pancras Old Church tomorrow night (16/12/11).

Steal His Heart

Get in my boat

We’ll sail away

I’ve always been scared, scared of the sea

I’ll give you some string, you’ll find your way home

And I will be waiting when you return.

I can’t steal his heart, but I can steal back mine

I can steal back mine,

I can steal back mine.

I can’t steal his heart, but I can steal back mine.

Stand on the shore

Arm is outstretched

The stars, in their heavens, are doing their best.

He calls my name, and I meet his eyes,

Now I have lived I might as well die.

I’m saying things are, (they are, they are)

I’m saying things are, (they are, they are)

I’m saying things are, (they are, they are)

Going to change

I’m saying things are, (they are, they are)

I’m singing things are, (they are, they are)

I’m singing things are, (they are, they are)

Going to change

I can’t steal his heart, but I can steal back mine

I can steal back mine

I can steal back mine.

I can’t steal his heart, but I can steal back mine.

Takes off my crown,

Throws it to the sky,

And we are emblazoned, as bright lights we’ll thrive.

Oh, we will thrive.

I can’t steal his heart, I can steal back mine

I can steal back mine

I can steal back mine.

I can’t steal his heart, but I can steal back mine.

Steal back mine.
