Deceptively Yours

I couldn't make a change I might have known you had found another love I sat at home all night Baskin' in the lonely pale of my bed stand light Through a tear in a curtain in a cheap motel I saw with jealous eyes You made the call to lie Deceptively yours I saw a black cloud, I didn't hear a sound, only the shell on the ground Was a scream somewhere and in the thick night air I put the pedal down, as the sirens wailed, and I sat alone and prayed Not knowing what was to come Through the tear in a curtain in a cheap motel I saw with jealous eyes You made the call to lie Deceptively yours I tried not to believe the scene that I could see It felt like days passed by Before I turned away, I felt a dizzy sway And the gun in my hand, stood before a judge He cleared his throat to say I won't give you no bail Shackled with chains of love I knew that I had bought my own coffin nails I hear your sweet voice calling out my name As I stare from a six-foot cell And from beyond I heard the words Deceptively yours --- Deceptively Yours - Peter Malick and Norah Jones
