Crimes of Passion

I watched you sleep
But it didn’t seem that deep
The worry was clear on your face
Something you know,
But afraid to show
Here in this sanctioned place.
Why are you hiding?
In me you should be confiding
What your father has done is a disgrace.

I thumbed through your diary
Finding everything about you inspiring
I keep your conquests as my own
I’ve been there since you were a child
Since your daddy went all wild
Your delicate face has matured
And I am enchanted by how much you have grown.

I wonder if you feel me near you,
As I keep you in plain view
Locked in my gun-metal cross hairs
Really I just want to be inside you
Do the things two lovers do
Prove to the Kaiser that not all is fair.

But as the days mark you older
My trigger finger is reaching for my holster
Thinking I’ve got a job to do.
This killer is getting bolder
And every winter seems a little bit colder
I am in love,
so now what am I to do?
