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
