Scene Of Your Crime by Liz23

music and lyrics by michael cohen

in that deep twilight between sleep and waking
i thought i saw you standing there
when i awoke i lay there cold and aching
i knew i never had a prayer
i never thought that i would give in
i never thought my path would wind
back to the cell i used to live in
back to the scene of your crime

i was too innocent and too unwary
when first i came under your spell
lost for years in your dark sanctuary
sometimes heaven, sometimes
i never thought that i’d return here
like a pilgrim to a shrine
light the candles let them burn here
at the scene of your crime

i’m in rapture like a dying saint
i accept my lot with no complaint
all the roads i knew that led away from you
were too steep to climb

these walls have seen the vows that we have taken
heard all the sins we had confessed
seen all the days when i had been forsaken
and all the nights that i’d been blessed
i never thought you’d be so clever
to entice me one more time
back to the door i’d closed forever
back to the scene of your crime
back to the scene of your crime
