Partner In Crime - The Gentle Waves[00:00:00]

Written by：Isobel campbell[00:00:00]

It happened in the summer not so very long ago[00:00:00]

It was so warm and humid[00:00:05]

Elsie would go down to the old wood[00:00:06]

And pray for the wind to come[00:00:08]

She had a friend who swore you could evoke the angels simply by prayer[00:00:11]

She said there are angels for every desire but you must believe you have to believe[00:00:14]

So by the time the sun was buried along with the stale air[00:00:22]

A plan had formed very clearly in her mind[00:00:25]

She was a lonely girl of around twenty or so[00:00:33]

And as she knelt down to pray in the old wood under the town[00:00:35]

Her heart would beg and plead[00:00:38]

I desire a partner in crime[00:00:44]

I've grown tired of endless crying[00:00:50]

I desire a partner in crime[00:00:54]

I've grown tired of endless crying[00:01:00]

Crying for nothing[00:01:04]

And the roses hung their weary heads[00:01:15]

Like people do when they are heavy and without hope[00:01:17]

The seasons passed[00:01:20]

January February under the trees[00:01:22]

And there were tulips amongst the firs[00:01:23]

Elsie was twenty three twenty four twenty five[00:01:25]

And the underpass was dark and dense[00:01:27]

With light at the seams[00:01:29]

Where the trees were broken and the branches were reaching out[00:01:30]

For they had witnessed her prayers[00:01:33]

And there was promise in the wind[00:01:34]

A promise of better things[00:01:36]

I desire a partner in crime[00:01:38]

I desire a partner in crime[00:01:43]

I've grown tired of endless crying[00:01:48]

Crying for nothing[00:01:52]

The years flowed on and on[00:02:30]

Like the wine that celebrated marriages[00:02:31]

Of friends and sisters[00:02:33]

Elsie began to think that even if her wish materialized[00:02:35]

She could not sacrifice a life that was so familiar lonely[00:02:37]

Sad with an almost religious quality[00:02:41]

She remembered times spent in the old wood deep in prayer[00:02:43]

Aching begging[00:02:46]

Thinking her heart might burst[00:02:48]

Her friend had moved away unannounced[00:02:49]

She'd disappeared[00:02:52]

There was no belief[00:02:53]

And longer and longer there was less to give[00:02:54]

Less love to give[00:02:57]

Of course there'd been lovers[00:02:58]

But nothing close to what she'd hoped for[00:03:00]

Before she'd felt electricity swelling in her palms[00:03:01]

But not now[00:03:04]

Limp and hopeless life continued[00:03:05]

But it wasn't really living[00:03:08]

All she'd ever dreamed wished and yearned for[00:03:09]

Had been stolen and shot down[00:03:12]

And eternity was calling[00:03:17]

Calling for nothing[00:03:22]
