i stole from jess
we walk along the ocean boardwalk
i pull her closer to my side
"Oh, look over there
it's a kite in the sky!"
i stole a kiss from jess
the roasted duck is browned in maple syrup
the Chef is superb
the wine is chilled
she cuts the fowl n' raises her fork
i stole her bite from jess
lying beside her
upon the finely crushed sand
the rhythmic crashes of the waves
seems to move the shadows of the sea grass
i see above us
dark velvet dome
sparkling like diamonds
too numerous to count
the moon is hiding
the sea is ink black
i must turn n' roll
to find our flashlight
i stole a hug from jess
i'm no thief, no villain of the night
tis' a man who's justified
jess stole my heart
that's why
