Mary May Lyrics by Sweet Petunia

Sweet Petunia

[Verse 1: Maddy]
Tea kettle whistlin'
Hushed murmur sigh
Baby hairs curlin'
Silent night cry
Sweet-talk talk talkin'
Hurricane blow
Been away so long
Won't you come home
[Chorus: Maddy and Mairead]
Won't you come home to me
I've been so alone
Flowers grow and then wilt
And I'm still on my own
There's a chill in the air
Just your voice through the phone
Jesus Christ, Mary May
Won't you please come on home
[Verse 2: Maddy and Mairead]
Kick drums keep kicking
Leaves skitter down streets
Keep prayin' to God
That your soul I might keep
Dogs tuck in their tails
Snow sits on the still
Sugar rottin' my teeth
And I'm missing you still
[Chorus: Maddy and Mairead]
Won't you come home to me
I've been so alone
Flowers grow and then wilt
And I'm still on my own
There's a chill in the air
Just your voice through the phone
Jesus Christ, Mary May
Won't you please come on home
[Bridge: Maddy]
I keep seeing your face
[Maddy and Mairead]
'Round every street sign
[Maddy]
My heart stops I swear
[Maddy and Mairead]
Shivering my spine
And I swear Mary May
I never missed you more
Than last Saturday
When you walked through my door
[Chorus: Maddy and Mairead]
Won't you come home to me
I've been so alone
Flowers grow and then wilt
And I'm still on my own
There's a chill in the air
Just your voice through the phone
Jesus Christ, Mary May
Won't you please come home—
[Chorus (cont.): Maddy and Mairead]
Won't you come home to me
I've been so alone
I've followed you here
But there's nowhere to go
There's a chill in the air
Just your voice through the phone
Jesus Christ, Mary May
Won't you please come on home
