Martha (Single Version)

Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps

Patiently

She sifts the hairy air that's worn and wood-swept

Pleasantly

She does as she pleases

She listens for me

Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow

Fly to me

You can dance and sing and walk with me

And dreams will fade and shadows grow in weed

She does as she pleases

She waits there for me

She does as she pleases

Her heels rise for me

My love she talks to winking windows as she murmurs to her feet

Thoughtfully

She separates in laughter to my side

Caught for me

She does as she pleases

She waits there for me

She does as she pleases

Her heels rise for me

Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock

And it's waiting there for me

She weeds apart through a token lock

What a great thing to be free

She weeps time, starts unspoken, but when the gate swings

There she'll be, there she'll be

In green sun, on blue earth, under warm running shower
