Call Your Grandma Sunday
by Tessa Rae
“My grandma taught me to sing, so ending the record with a call to her felt right. It's the quietest, most tender one here, and the choir hums us out like a benediction.”

Lyrics
Sunday morning, kettle's on the boil Phone is on the counter, I'm not gonna toil Her number's on the screen with the photo from the fair She's wearing that big hat and a flower in her hair One little ring, then I hear her say Well hello, my darling, how's your day Call your grandma Sunday, she's been waiting by the phone Call your grandma Sunday, you don't have to be alone She's got a story and a recipe and love enough for two Call your grandma Sunday, she'll be so glad it's you She tells me about the neighbour and the garden and the rain The tomatoes are a-climbing and the cat has gone insane She asks me if I'm eating, I say yes, I really am She laughs and says, that's lovely, here's a secret for your jam One little ring, and the whole world's slow Sit down for a minute, let the good news flow Call your grandma Sunday, she's been waiting by the phone Call your grandma Sunday, you don't have to be alone She's got a story and a recipe and love enough for two Call your grandma Sunday, she'll be so glad it's you Clap along now, clap along Somebody's waiting for your song Ten little minutes, that's all it takes To make her whole week, make no mistake Now I'm stirring sugar and I'm smiling at the sky She says, don't be a stranger, and I say, goodbye, goodbye But I'm holding on a little to the sound of her good cheer And I know that I'll be calling the same time next year Call your grandma Sunday, she's been waiting by the phone Call your grandma Sunday, you don't have to be alone She's got a story and a recipe and love enough for two Call your grandma Sunday, she'll be so glad it's you Call your grandma Sunday She'll be so glad it's you
