Mrs. Jones Lyrics - 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. 

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
