Buckley Tim Martha Lyrics

Martha Lyrics

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...
