Tamas Wells - The Crime At Edmond Lake

The leaves were raked at the
end of Edmond Lake
for the teams to find the
evidence of why
they had failed to rise
and run out and hide
when they heard the voices
calling from the flame trees
I could see if the lovers hadn't
been to the lake that day
They could have found a way to
escape to town and take the
Greyhound
with the coins we found
We went into the morning light
Won't you wait won't
you ever hesitate
in the leaves you rake at the
end of Edmond Lake
You could find that trail of
crumbs and details of a crime
that made us shiver as
we climbed back
I could tell
how a rabbit and a spell could
relieve our eyes of plastic
apple pies
And the strings that held our
covers in well
and the coins we found
We went into the morning light
The leaves were raked at the end
of Edmond Lake
for the teams to find the
evidence of why
they had failed to rise and run
out and hide
with the coins we found
We went into the morning light
