She walks the bluffs alone looking out to sea Near her weather-worn shingle shack where wait her cats and tea I drive her into town and have to wonder why In the stone cold silence her affections lie Mae Pyle the snow lies heavy at your door Mae Pyle springtime gone will come no more I would come to warm your heart but you won't let me near Mae Pyle what is it you fear. In my days of you we stole apples from your trees Just to hear you voice could cause our blood to freeze Now the orchard lies forgotten choked with weeds Just like a broken heart abandoned and in need Mae Pyle the snow lies heavy at your door Mae Pyle springtime gone will come no more I would come to warm your heart but you won't let me near Mae Pyle what is it you fear. The stinging winter winds are blowing through the trees On the jagged rocks below the seaspray starts to freeze As the season ends I'll have to drive away Wondering what curse could make that lonely widow stay Mae Pyle the snow lies heavy at your door Mae Pyle springtime gone will come no more I would come to warm your heart but you won't let me near Mae Pyle what is it you fear. |
