Mrs. Jones - Ellis Paul

Mrs. Jones wakes up, got a lover in her bed

She don’t even know the boy’s last name

And whatever excuse she makes up

For what happened in the sheets

Lord knows, some things have got to change

Cover Me

With rose petal kisses

Smother me

With wet perfume

Hover over me

Like you’re pulling at the ocean

Tugging at the sand

Oh, sweet Gravity’s hands

Fill me like the light fills the moon

Headlights in the driveway

Somebody’s in a car, a door slams

Clip clop your man’s come home

There’s a tumble, there’s a shakeup

A knife falls to the floor

God damn, that turns marrow to bone

There’s a man inside the parlor

His heartbeat paints the floor

A voice on his shoulder is whisperin' his name

In the heart of a desperate hour

Love knocks down all doors

Knowing too well it’s too late to lay blame
