Beautiful Crime

(Beth Kille - vocals and guitar, Nancy Rost - piano)
Copyright 2008, words and music by Beth Kille and Nancy Rost
I'm sorry I lied
But I knew you would walk away
Careless desire led me astray
Every Friday night
I sang to you in the second row
The way you stared, I just had to know
Martini-bold
I walked up and asked your name
I started it all, I'll take the blame for such a

Beautiful crime
In your eyes, I saw yellow fade to green light
I'll do my time
In my mind
For such a beautiful crime

I dream of the day
I'll see the sunrise on your skin
I'd be lying with you, committed to him
You knew my heart
Even there in the second row
Now you're here with me and I have to let you go
Truth hurts us all
Pulling me in two
So I hide it from him and share it with you

It's such a beautiful crime ....
