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
