Murder she wrote?

It's not unusual for the lyrics of a song to not have any meaning. Music first, then stick words in to fit. Lyrics with unclear meanings also serve the purpose of attracting attention by getting people thinking about the lyrics and therefore the song.

As for the TV series, the original was decades ago and was about an author who wrote murder stories and was an amateur detective (who solved all the cases, of course, because it's TV land).
 
My theory on it is the author had an abortion and she felt guilty about murdering her baby, realising that abortion doesn't stop you from being a parent but a parent of a dead baby, so she dedicated her life to solving murders to get redemption.
