He rode down
With his brain on fire
Ready to fall into bed

He knew his happiness
Hung by a wire
If she could believe what he said


Through the door
And into the hall

Hoping to find what he missed
No books on the floor
No wine on the wood

She left nothing to show she existed

Oh darling Marie come home

(Please come home)
Come home and tell me, try
Oh Marie, I'm still here

Waiting for you to decide

Crying wolf

Just too many times
No one answered your call
We never knew

You were drunk every night
Waiting for justice to fall


Oh darling Marie come home
(Please come home)
Come home and tell me, fight

Oh Marie, I'm still here
Waiting for you to decide


She can bloom like a flower in season
Now she can grow
(She is free)

She can sing like the birds in the trees
Only now she is solo


She left home
With his life in her hands
Hoping to find a new way

She won't toe the line
But she now understands
How to stop her life turning to gray


Oh darling Marie come home
(Please come home)

Come home and tell me why
Oh Marie, I'm still here
Waiting for you to decide

Oh darling Marie come home
(Please come home)
Come home and forget my lies

Oh Marie, I'm still here
Waiting for you to decide
