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

When they heard the voices calling from the flame trees
