My Crime Of Passion lyrics

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
