Tim Buckley - Martha lyrics
[Tim Buckley - Martha lyrics]
Operator, number please
It's been so many years
She'll remember my old voice while
I fight the tears
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 all our sorrows
And we saved 'em for a rainy day
I feel so much older now
And you're much older too
How's the husband, and how's the kids
You know that I got married, too
Guess that our bein' together was
Never meant to be
But, Martha, Martha, I love you
Can't you see 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 all our sorrows
And we saved 'em for a rainy day
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 all our sorrows
And we saved 'em for a rainy day
It's been so many years
She'll remember my old voice while
I fight the tears
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 all our sorrows
And we saved 'em for a rainy day
I feel so much older now
And you're much older too
How's the husband, and how's the kids
You know that I got married, too
Guess that our bein' together was
Never meant to be
But, Martha, Martha, I love you
Can't you see 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 all our sorrows
And we saved 'em for a rainy day
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 all our sorrows
And we saved 'em for a rainy day
