Crime Of Passion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On a bright day she passed away
In the morning, it's a cruel way
To take her away with no warning
He took her hand through every midnight hour
And then he saw her fading away like a spring shower
I can see a complete life's time
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion
He stood to see if he could catch her breathing
But it was no good, he understood she was leaving
He looked outside the frosty window pane
And then he saw her moving away, Elizabeth Jane
I can see a complete life's time
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom in sight, it's a long climb
But she would not give up the fight for a long time
And I see a light come shining into night
Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed, it was second sight
I can see a complete life's time
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom light shining in the night
I see freedom, but she wouldn't give up the fight
I see her light come shining into night
Baby it's all right, we couldn't have changed, it was second sight
I see a light come shining into night
Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed, it was second sight
