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.
|
|
Chorus
|
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
|
|
Chorus
|
|
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.
|
|
Chorus
