about

During that first stay on Lismore, I was thinking about how when we are born we are usually helped into the world by a midwife. In Western culture at least there isn’t really an equivalent person to call on when it’s time to go. Into my head came ‘Aunt Mary’ to carry out this role. I don’t have an Aunt Mary.
Lovely solos here from Mark and Patrick.

lyrics

V1. Go tell Aunt Mary, she’s needed on the phone. Go tell Aunt Mary, she’s needed on the phone. Her time has come to take him right back home.
V2. Go tell Aunt Mary, she can pick him up at eight. Go tell Aunt Mary, he’ll be waiting by the gate. He’d like to stay but knows it’s getting late.
Bridge. We all hope when the sky is grey, the wind will blow the clouds
away. The sun will shine and take you where the sky is always blue.
V3. Instrumental.
Bridge. We all hope when the sky is grey, the wind will blow the clouds away. The sun will shine and
take you where the sky is always blue.
V4. Go tell Aunt Mary, his time is coming soon. Go tell Aunt Mary, you can tell it by the moon. Tomorrow night he’ll be singing a different, tomorrow
night he’ll be singing a different, tomorrow night he’ll be singing a different tune.
