Martha

In the style of

Tom Waits

Lyrics

operator number please
it's been so many years

will she remember
my old voice

while i fight the tears?

hello hello there
is this martha?

this is old tom frost

and i am calling long distance

don't worry about the cost

'cos it's been forty
years or more

now martha please recall

meet me out for coffee

where we'll talk about it all

and those were the
days of roses

poetry and prose

and martha all i had was you
and all you had was me

there was no tomorrows
we'd packed away our sorrows

and we saved them

for a rainy day

and i feel so much older now
and you're much older too

how's your husband?
and how's the kids?

you know that i

got married too?

luck is that you
found someone

to make you feel secure

'cos we were all so young

and foolish now we are mature

and those were the
days of roses

poetry and prose

and martha all i had was you
and all you had was me

there was no tomorrows
we'd packed away our sorrows

and we saved them

for a rainy day

and i was always so impulsive

i guess that i still am

and all that
really mattered then

was that i was a man

i guess that our being together
was never meant to be

and martha martha
i love you can't you see?

and those were the
days of roses

poetry and prose

and martha all i had was you
and all you had was me

there was no tomorrows
we'd packed away our sorrows

and we saved them

for a rainy day

and i remember
quiet evenings

trembling close to you
