|
Words of warning took me by surprise |
|
From a voice i hardly recognised |
|
Well my heart was beating faster |
|
And my blood ran hot and cold |
|
I was heading for disaster |
|
When suddenly i realised that i had lost control |
|
Loaded questions played upon my mind |
|
Allegations i could not deny |
|
Well my mind was in confusion |
|
Had my back against the wall |
|
I'd been led into collusion |
|
Before i realised i was a victim of it all |
|
Chorus: |
|
Here's to my crime of passion |
|
I can't forget the look upon your face |
|
And to your tender mercies |
|
Goodbye to all the innocence we never can replace |
|
All of sunday sittin' by the telephone |
|
Not a whisper, well i should have known |
|
But it seems that i'd insisted |
|
'cause in spite of all you said |
|
I believe my words were twisted |
|
As line by line the promises were spinning round my head |
|
(chorus) |
|
Waves of anger slowly do recede |
|
To faded memories that i'll never need |
|
But my mind keeps on returning to the way it used to be |
|
There's a flame forever burning |
|
There's nothing i can say to you will ever make you see |
|
Here's to my crime of passion |
|
I just can't seem to shake it off my mind |
|
As for your tender mercy |
|
I'll never stop regretting that i left it all behind |
