Song | The Perfect Crime |
Artist | The Lucksmiths |
Album | Naturaliste |
The sun is on the hilltop | |
Casting shadows on things below | |
The afternoon has left the valley cold | |
I raise my eyebrows and grip the dashboard | |
You take the bends like you built the road | |
This is the road you travel | |
Every time you come home | |
The vision awe-inspiring | |
Reception is very poor | |
We listen to tapes rewinding slow | |
This is always exciting | |
When we happen to get along | |
But we seem to end up fighting | |
It’s just an hour or two too long | |
Too long | |
This is the perfect crime | |
When the creek is high | |
On poplar trees the turning leaves | |
Pass the time | |
We’re always asking questions | |
Casting doubts on the things we know | |
The afternoon has left the valley cold | |
If this is a lesson in life | |
If this is a test of love | |
I’ll circle letter D – all of the above | |
Because that’s close enough | |
Close enough | |
This is the perfect crime | |
When the creek is high | |
On poplar trees the turning leaves | |
Pass the time | |
You left your sentence open | |
You left without a sound | |
The words we kept unspoken | |
Bury them in the ground |
The sun is on the hilltop | |
Casting shadows on things below | |
The afternoon has left the valley cold | |
I raise my eyebrows and grip the dashboard | |
You take the bends like you built the road | |
This is the road you travel | |
Every time you come home | |
The vision aweinspiring | |
Reception is very poor | |
We listen to tapes rewinding slow | |
This is always exciting | |
When we happen to get along | |
But we seem to end up fighting | |
It' s just an hour or two too long | |
Too long | |
This is the perfect crime | |
When the creek is high | |
On poplar trees the turning leaves | |
Pass the time | |
We' re always asking questions | |
Casting doubts on the things we know | |
The afternoon has left the valley cold | |
If this is a lesson in life | |
If this is a test of love | |
I' ll circle letter D all of the above | |
Because that' s close enough | |
Close enough | |
This is the perfect crime | |
When the creek is high | |
On poplar trees the turning leaves | |
Pass the time | |
You left your sentence open | |
You left without a sound | |
The words we kept unspoken | |
Bury them in the ground |
