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
