about

A dark secret is covered up...

lyrics

John Henry Adams

John Henry Adams lifts the shutters up
Opens up the door
Like he's done every morning
since 1954
Picks the mail up
Tidies up the garbage
That was left last night

John Henry Adams straightens out his wares
Opens up the store
Like he's done every morning
Since 1954
Fills his coffee cup
Flicks a speck of dust
'til his mind starts to roam

There's something that he knows
Something he wants no one to know
This is the life he chose

John Henry Adams turns the lights out
Sign upon the door
Takes the key from his pocket
And opens up the floor
That is hidden
In the corner by an unsightly rug

John Henry Adams picks the shovel up
Drops it to the floor
Like he did on that morning
In 1984
When he cleaned
then he covered up
her lifeless flesh and bones

This is the life he chose
Something he wants no one to know
His secret grows and grows

Dance with me Rosalie
One more time from memory
The flowers look as sweet as the did on that morning
Dance with me Rosalie
One more time
Please forgive me
Well, I hate to let you go
Go back into your hole
You know I've got to go
There's someone at the door
You know I've got to go
There's someone at the door.......
