Martha Lyrics - Tim Buckley

Operator, number please, it's been so many years 

She'll remember my old voice while I fight the tears 

Hello, hello there is this Martha, 

This is ol' Tom Frost 

Now I'm calling long distance don't worry 'bout the cost 

It's been twenty years or more now Martha please recall 

And meet me out for coffee where we'll talk about it all 

And... those were days of roses of poetry and prose 

And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me 

There was no tomorrow 

We packed away our sorrows and saved 'em for a rainy day and 

I remember quiet evenings trembling close to you 

I feel so much older now, you're much older too 

How's the husband, and how's the kids, you know I got married too 

Lucky that you found someone who makes you feel secure 

We were all so young and foolish, now we are mature

I was always so impulsive, guess that I still am 

But all that really mattered then was that I was a man 

Guess that our bein' together was never meant to be 

But, Martha, Martha, I love you, can't you see and...
