Paroles Edna strange John Craigie

Edna strange

She might have mentioned another man
Honestly, I don't remember
Who brings a pistol to a one-night stand?
Honestly, I didn't blame her
I saw it in her purse when she laid it on the floor
Saw it in her eyes when she double-locked the door
I wasn't scared, just a little on guard
'Cause I barely knew Edna Strange

Slid the gun 'neath the pillow, told me not to mind
She pushed me down on the bed
She want no wedding ring, but I wasn't blind
I saw the mark where it had been
And I ain't one to move this fast
These days, there's too many questions to ask
And it'd been so long since I'd had the chance
So I surrendered to Enda Strange

I guess locks don't matter when you're on the hunt
'Cause that door flew right off the wall
And I grabbed the pistol, and I heard his shouts
And I felt her sweet body fall
When the smoke cleared, I laid him down
My heavy breathing was the only sound
And two empty vessels, their souls upward bound
Mister and Misses Edna Strange

Sometimes you're the sinner, sometimes you're a pawn
Sometimes you're right in the center
And if she gets credit for killin' that man
I guess it's all for the better
But nobody came for me, nobody knew
With husbands and wives, I guess you don't look for clues
And if anyone asks me, I'll tell 'em the truth
I barely knew Edna Strange, oh
