[00:00:00] 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:04] Crying for nothing

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

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

[00:01:20] The seasons passed

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:52] Crying for nothing

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

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

[00:02:33] Of friends and sisters

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

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

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

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

[00:02:46] Aching begging

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

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

[00:02:52] She'd disappeared

[00:02:53] There was no belief

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

[00:02:57] Less love to give

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

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

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

[00:03:04] But not now

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

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

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

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

[00:03:17] And eternity was calling

[00:03:22] Calling for nothing
