Crime

Love has touched me
love has crushed me
in a labyrinth
worse than absynthe

We drove out together
but I came back alone
an ox without its tether
a dog without a bone

      Teach me to forget
      and clean my head
      please don't remind me
      it's all behind me
      like a crime
      but yours, not mine

Love has touched me
love has crushed me
with the magic wand
of your do's and don'ts

We understood each other
or so I thought by god
lost my father and my mother
now I'm just a poor sod

       refr.

Love has touched me
love has crushed me
way beneath the weight
of bus number eight

We crossed the magic bridge
an engineering feat
we stood high upon the ridge
where lost lovers meet


       refr.
